> For useful background on the first version of Durable Objects take a look at Cloudflare's durable multiplayer moat by Paul Butler, who digs into its popularity for building WebSocket-based realtime collaborative applications.
First apps that come to mind that have RT collaboration:
- Google Docs/Sheets etc
- Notion
- Miro
- Figma
These are all global scale collaborative apps, I'm not sure a Laravel stack will support those use cases... Google had to in house everything and probably spearheaded the usage of CRDTs ( this is a guess!) but as the patterns emerge and the building blocks get SAASified, mass-RT collaboration no longer becomes a giant engineering problem and more and more interesting products get unlocked
