Linting @ Dyte

At Dyte we are now 44 persons, most of them developers, and each one has his own personal code style. This has lead sometimes to huge code conflicts when doing merges that create some annoyances and delays, so we decided to create an unified linting code style for all of Dyte projects (including a Jira ticket too!), just only we have been procrastinating it due to some other priorities. So, after the last merge conflict in a new project just created some days before, we decided to fix that issue once for all. Come and follow us to see how at Dyte we take code quality serious, and how at Dyte we don’t just simply apply a linter to our source code.

Although Mafalda SFU is mainly focused on vertical scaling of Mediasoup and the WebRTC stack, the main problem I’ve found companies are facing is about how to easily implement Mediasoup horizontal scaling. I’ve been working on a solution for this problem for a while now, and since Mafalda is built on top of Mediasoup, it’s also needed to help it to provide transparent vertical and horizontal scaling, so let’s see how it works.

Manifest of a perfectionist

#perfectionism, #programming, #software, #architecture, #quality

I’m a bit obsesive with code and architecture quality, and having them done like they could be put down on a textbook, or at least about they being used by others as reference of how things can be done right. I’ve always feel a bit frustrated that newcomers get and perpetuate bad habits, just because they learned them that way on the first place by thinking that was the way to do the things… Later, if things are working, people don’t give a sh*t on thinking about if there’s a better way to do it, both to improve their work quality or processes, or for learning and improve themselves, they just move on… So it’s better to do things right from the beginning, since later they are more difficult to fix, or simply you forget to do it. And at the end, just by doing things right on a first approach, you get used to it and do them that way by default :-)

WebRTC horizontal scaling

When approaching the horizontal scaling of WebRTC servers, we have two main approaches: decentralized P2P, and using a central server. Each one has its own drawbacks and advantages, and I had difficulties to identify what approach was the best, since I usually have a personal preference for pure P2P architectures, but they are not the most simple nor always the more efficient ones. So when deciding how to approach Mafalda horizontal scaling, I needed to consider the pros and cons of each use case I would need, and here we have my conclusions.
