The current v1 Bluesky system is designed to scale to 1M users. And today we're going to hit 1M users! We will, of course, keep pushing things and *try* to smoothly transition to the v2 Bluesky system later this year. It's designed for >10M users. We just have to finish building the v2 system!

Mhmm as the system grows, I see the loading cycle more often. I hope you will not loose performance that much.

We believe in you! You got this! I've not paid much attention to the codebase, is any of it open source? I'm wondering if there's much room for community help.

So, we’re at the point where growth of the network will stagnate without opening up PDS federation? Or is the BGS a major bottleneck?

This scalability is a bit slower than expected. Understandably, because it's super hard, but slow scalability can lead to loss of momentum. The current invite-only system killed momentum in my sphere, though it's coming back now. Hope v2 enables faster growth :)

Wow, I won't support that much users.

Congrats to all the team ! Hi from France !

Will scaling for 10m be enough for such incredible growth? Hyped for federation

Very cool! Glad to be here - and as others have said, videos, gifs, and DMs would be lovely (mainly the first two, but still). But it’s all a process, and I appreciate the time taken to make it all solid!

Open up beta federation!

How can I help you ? I can code
