We’ve been growing and have had to scale authentication beyond what our original collab server could handle. Not many people are using collab yet, we’re prioritizing non-collaborative features (like our recent Windows release), and we’re planning on rebuilding all of this on top of DeltaDB. Fundamentally, it just fell through the cracks.

Self hosting will be a vital feature for users and enterprises though, we’re planning on revisiting it once we have a few more features settled :D

Looks like development of DeltaDB has been discontinued.

That is a different project :D

Here's our overall pitch: https://zed.dev/blog/sequoia-backs-zed#introducing-deltadb-o...

Oh is this based on my favoritest data structure ever: zed's Sum Tree?

Looks great. I use some CRDTs like Loro and Automerge, are there any learnings or collaboration you're taking from them to improve DeltaDB?

Also the name, I thought it was a database with CRDTs due to the "DB" at the end of DeltaDB, but it's a version control system, I thought that was somewhat misleading, any reason why it's named so?

Is this / will this be open source? I have a direct immediate need for this and was about to break ground on greenfield implementation. Had no idea Zed was working on something similar. I would of course much rather collaborate than maintain a competing VCS.

Cool, thanks for the transparency and info.

I'm really rooting for you guys, and your direction and quality is exciting to see.
