Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Gink

Gink is an open source, cryptographically secure, multi-master database system based on Conflict Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) and Event Sourcing. CRDTs conceptualize updates in terms of the changes they’re intended to make to a model. On the other hand, the Event Sourcing approach characterizes each update as an event (also called action) that holds all possibly relevant information pertaining to something that happened, and defers the question of what to do with those updates to later written consuming code (which can be designed as a commutative reducer or something like a trigger). Both of these models allow for updates/events to originate at any node on the network and be propagated to other nodes to arrive at an eventually consistent state.

Gink is designed to make on-prem-to-cloud migrations easy and multi-cloud deployments trivial. The system will make it easy to start projects with a local database and then migrate them to the cloud for wider deployment. It will be designed for developers who value flexibility and robustness.

Conflict Free Replicated Data Types have been an active area of research in recent years, but multi-paradigm, enterprise-grade implementations have yet to appear. A good implementation would offer ultra-low-latency, cloud independence, and 100% availability (at the cost of consistency in the case of network disconnects). The “mergeable” multi-master capability will unlock new architecture options for edge computing and dynamic database scaling.

This is not an officially supported Google product.

Installing Required Dependencies on Linux

For the typescript implementation, this will install the system dependencies.

sudo apt-get install -y npm protobuf-compiler
sudo npm install -g ts-node

Inside the local copy of the repo, install the required npm packages with:

npm install

Compile Proto Files

make

Testing

npm run test
