Supercharge Your Full-stack App with a Reactive Database
summary
Claims a fully reactive backend where app state lives globally and caches vanish, backed by 200,000 lines of Rust and a V8 process colocated with data. Demonstrates a chat built with use Query and use Mutation over websockets, shows optimistic updates, transactional concurrency handling, end to end TypeScript typesafety, and says customers run at thousands to tens of thousands of users. The demo chat works live and survives simultaneous rewrites.
