Every Node.js App Should Have Real-Time Collaborative Features

Discover how to implement real-time collaboration features in Node.js applications in this conference talk from Conf42 JavaScript 2023. Explore the ingredients for successful real-time collaboration, including operational transformations and conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs). Learn about Y.js, a popular CRDT implementation, and how it can be used to build collaborative features. Gain insights into implementing awareness/presence, state synchronization, and managing order in collaborative environments. Understand different architecture options, the scope of collaboration, and how to handle changes to dependent views. Explore the benefits of real-time collaboration and gain valuable insights for enhancing your Node.js applications with collaborative features.
