Key Design Decisions

Decision	Rationale
Yjs (CRDT) over OT	No central authority needed; guaranteed convergence; used by Notion & JupyterLab
Redis Pub/Sub	Enables horizontal scaling without sticky sessions
Zustand over Redux	Less boilerplate, better TS support, sufficient for our needs
Docker Isolation	Security-first execution with resource limits and network isolation
Upstash Redis	Serverless-friendly, free tier, REST + pub/sub support

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Node.js ≥ 20
pnpm ≥ 9
Docker (for code execution)
PostgreSQL (or Docker)

Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/codesync.git
cd codesync

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Set up environment variables
cp apps/server/.env.example apps/server/.env
# Edit .env with your values

# Start database
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up postgres redis -d

# Run database migrations
cd apps/server && npx prisma migrate dev

# Build sandbox images (for code execution)
cd ../../docker/sandboxes
docker build -t codesync-sandbox-js ./javascript
docker build -t codesync-sandbox-python ./python

# Start development servers
cd ../..
pnpm dev

Access

Frontend: http://localhost:3000
Backend: http://localhost:4000
API Health: http://localhost:4000/api/health

🔌 WebSocket Events

Event	Direction	Description
`room:join`	Client → Server	Join a coding room
`room:joined`	Server → Client	Room data + initial state
`doc:update`	Client → Server	CRDT document delta
`doc:sync`	Server → Client	Broadcast delta to others
`cursor:move`	Client → Server	Cursor position update
`cursor:update`	Server → Client	Remote cursor positions
`chat:send`	Client → Server	Send chat message
`chat:message`	Server → Client	Broadcast message
`exec:run`	Client → Server	Execute code
`exec:output`	Server → Client	Streaming execution output
`webrtc:offer`	Client → Server	WebRTC SDP offer relay
`webrtc:answer`	Server → Client	WebRTC SDP answer relay
`webrtc:ice-candidate`	Both	ICE candidate exchange

🔒 Security

Docker Sandbox: Network-disabled containers with CPU/memory limits
JWT Authentication: Short-lived access tokens + refresh rotation
Rate Limiting: Redis-backed distributed rate limiting
XSS Protection: Input sanitization + Helmet headers
CORS: Strict origin validation
Non-root Execution: Sandbox containers run as unprivileged users

📊 Performance

CRDT Sync: ~5ms latency for character-level updates
WebSocket: Binary protocol for minimal overhead
Debounced Sync: Batches rapid keystrokes before broadcast
Redis Caching: Room metadata + recent messages cached
Optimistic UI: Local changes applied instantly

🛠️ Tech Stack

Layer	Technology
Frontend	Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Editor	Monaco Editor (VS Code engine)
State	Zustand
Real-time	Socket.io, Yjs (CRDT)
Video	WebRTC
Backend	Node.js, Express
Database	PostgreSQL (Prisma ORM)
Cache	Upstash Redis
Execution	Docker containers
AI	OpenRouter (multi-model)
Auth	JWT + Google OAuth
Deploy	Vercel + Railway

📈 Scalability

The architecture supports horizontal scaling out of the box:

Multiple server instances share state via Redis pub/sub
No sticky sessions required — any instance can handle any request
CRDT convergence guarantees consistency without coordination
Connection pooling via PgBouncer for database efficiency
Queue-based execution prevents overload during high traffic
