Arushi Bandi (Figma) - A Tale of Two Sync Engines

At Figma, real-time collaboration is our bread and butter. So much so that we developed not one, but two (!) sync engines to keep our product multiplayer and fast. This talk will cover the history of these two sync engines, why and how they evolved differently, and a deep-dive on the challenges of scaling one of them: LiveGraph, our in-house real-time GraphQL-like service.

Software UX, DX, and AX are all being redefined and reinvented as we speak. The next generation of products are being built on sync engines and local-first architectures, enabling realtime collaboration between humans and agents.

Learn from developers at the world's leading startups on how they use these technologies. Find out what you and your team need to know in building category-defining products.
