An honest analysis of SpacetimeDB 2.0's insane benchmark results
gist.github.comWell done Brandon. This was an excellent analysis. I kinda knew it was too good to be true. I think that marketing video itself is something to be commended for. It did a really great job as selling space time db. However, after reading your analysis, it seems like there is still more to be missed. going to actually have to ship something, maybe a game, and then try to do some write up on it. \
Thanks for your kind words. I think the product is great and I do really like it, I just couldn't resist the urge to pick at it and ground it.
Recently clockwork labs put out this great marketing video launching spacetimedb 2.0. It was seriously impressive so I took a closer look at their bench and results.
TLDR It felt a little dishonest due to using different clients, protocols, concurrency, etc in the benchmarks but I'd love for someone to come explain how foolish and wrong I am.
