Lightning talk: Testing Distributed Databases

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

Claim states a tiny distributed database rebuilt yesterday and then stress-tested live: a mocha distributed test deploys code into browsers via a Panic server, spins an ad hoc mesh, and syncs 25,000 records between peers while verifying correctness with a checklist-style verify function and split-file storage. The run completes in about 9.2 seconds — roughly ~2,700 inserts/sec — showing both correctness checks and measurable throughput under chaos-managed conditions.
