SocialX Database System https://medium.com/@socialx/socialx-database-system-2c8910a110bbDuring the last months we build a scalable and decentralised social media network as we promised earlier this year. Now it’s time to release it bit by bit to ensure that everyone will have SocialX on his radar over the next months. With over 662 commits we will soon be able to present you the latest stage of the app. The private circle will be the first to get a glance at the App followed by everyone who signed up for the beta.
But of course in order to publish the beta we needed to design a stable infrastructure. Figure 1 displays the infrastructure we have chosen for running SocialX.
As you can see we are using database peers as one important part of our infrastructure. This blogpost aims to explain how you can setup a database peer to support the decentralised approach of SocialX.
