People were often interested to talk about it, but without any substantial companies to point to the conversation fell flat. Doesn't get more substantial than Shopify's storefront! Congratulations on the achievement @ioquatix.bsky.social and on your vision for the Async ecosystem!

Incredible validation for Falcon as a Ruby web server, and for Async in Ruby. I spoke about concurrency at last years RubyConf and had to call out Falcon - it's the server i've been most excited about in the past few years.

Falcon is now serving most of Shopify storefront traffic: web and API. It's solid, delivered big wins already, and unlocks a huge swath of new storefront optimizations we'll be trickling out over time.

Performance is an evergreen quest at Shopify. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ 💨

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted.

A few months ago, I recorded a podcast with Jack from @tuple.app 🥹 It's an episode in their Distributed podcast (tuple.app/distributed/). I talk about async work, long-form writing, Slack withdrawal symptoms, and my personal approach to work. If you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9h...

Totally - I have a production version out that uses tiptap and it was _way_ easier. Lexical thankfully did the hard work of integrating yjs into their tree, which is non-trivial, but their docs are pretty useless on it.

JP Camara @jpcamara.com · 17d

I also need it to be able to send whisper calls, since I am focusing on anycable in my talk and whisper is a great option for transmitting awareness docs.anycable.io/anycable-go/...

yes! agreed. the websocket provider seems pretty close to solid though. I implemented my own provider on a past project, but I'd like to see if this one is close enough on its own or needs any tweaks.

JP Camara @jpcamara.com · 17d

But long-story short, I am using yjs + lexical, custom cursors, and a small portion of actioncable-yrb

JP Camara @jpcamara.com · 17d

Also while I think actioncable-yrb is a nice reference, it has a much larger footprint than i'd expect. It doesn't seem actively maintained, and i'd be concerned to bring it into a project and effectively own it.

I also feel like the websocket provider could remove it's dependence on lib0? /3

JP Camara @jpcamara.com · 17d

I am currently using the websocket provider from actioncable-yrb only, and I have a custom channel for interacting with it. From what I can tell, actioncable-yrb is unsafe to use in a production environment: github.com/y-crdt/yrb/i...
Y-rb is not thread safe /2

JP Camara @jpcamara.com · 17d

A bit of a combination!

Thankfully lexical has built-in yjs support with lexical/yjs. It's pretty poorly documented so it took some work, but I got it there. From what I could find it _only_ has support for live cursor behavior in React, so I had to write that from scratch. /1

Working on my real-time talk for #SFRuby conf, I think it'll be a good one!

Real-time collaboration in Lexxy anyone?
