Designing Matrix: A Global Decentralised End-to-End Encrypted..
summary
Matrix describes an open standard and ecosystem that now spans 106M users across ~100K servers, claims active replication of full room history like git, and implements decentralized access control that tolerates long network partitions. It details Synapse (Python), Dendrite (Go) and a new Rust SDK, shows a working Element X client using a sliding sync proxy to lazily load millions of rooms, and explains how end-to-end encryption and sharded writers scale to hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections.
