yjs-server

Deploy Yjs collaborative editing by wiring a YjsServer to a Durable Streams storage backend and proxying browser traffic through Caddy. This 3-layer architecture provides real-time synchronization, snapshot-based discovery, and production-grade TLS routing for scalable collaborative apps.

Setting up a Yjs server for real-time document synchronization involves running a YjsServer connected to a DS server backend. The server handles the Yjs wire protocol, routing updates and awareness events, while using compaction-based snapshots to speed up initial syncs across browser clients.

Yes, Yjs works with Durable Streams for backend storage by wiring a YjsServer directly to a DS server. This integration enables snapshot discovery, update routing, and durable persistence for browser-based collaborative editing applications.

Configure Caddy as a proxy for a Yjs real-time collaboration server by setting up TLS and proxy routing with the flush_interval set to -1. This ensures proper handling of streaming connections between the browser and the YjsServer.

Yes, you can use Yjs for browser-based collaborative apps requiring snapshot-based synchronization. The deployment supports the Yjs wire protocol, applying compaction-based snapshots at a 1 MB threshold to speed up initial document synchronization across clients.

Available deployment options for a Yjs and DS-backed collaboration server include a local development server, self-hosted production using Caddy for TLS and proxy routing, or managed hosting via Electric Cloud provisioning.
