Performance & Scalability

By leveraging a serverless architecture, Vrite handles document state transitions through Convex mutations, ensuring that all collaborators stay in sync without manual refreshes. The integration of Liveblocks provides a WebSocket-based layer for ephemeral data like cursor positions, reducing the load on the primary database while maintaining a highly responsive user interface.
