#### Lazily loading channels I've added a new RPC message called `SubscribeToChannels` that the client now sends when it first renders the channels panel. This causes the server to load the channels for that client and send updates to that client as channels are updated. Previously, the server did this upon connection. For backwards compatibility, the server will inspect clients' version, and continue to do this work immediately for old clients. #### Optimizations Running collab locally, I realized that upon connecting, we were running two concurrent transactions that *both* queried the `channel_members` table: one for loading your channels, and one for loading your channel invites. I've combined these into one query. In addition, we now use a join to load channels + members, as opposed to two separate queries. Even though `where id in` is efficient, it adds an extra round trip to the database, keeping the transaction open for slightly longer. Release Notes: - N/A |

Zed Server
This crate is what we run at https://collab.zed.dev.
It contains our back-end logic for collaboration, to which we connect from the Zed client via a websocket after authenticating via https://zed.dev, which is a separate repo running on Vercel.
Local Development
Database setup
Before you can run the collab server locally, you'll need to set up a zed Postgres database.
script/bootstrap
This script will set up the zed Postgres database, and populate it with some users. It requires internet access, because it fetches some users from the GitHub API.
The script will create several admin users, who you'll sign in as by default when developing locally. The GitHub logins for the default users are specified in the seed.default.json file.
To use a different set of admin users, create crates/collab/seed.json.
{
"admins": ["yourgithubhere"],
"channels": ["zed"],
"number_of_users": 20
}
Testing collaborative features locally
In one terminal, run Zed's collaboration server and the livekit dev server:
foreman start
In a second terminal, run two or more instances of Zed.
script/zed-local -2
This script starts one to four instances of Zed, depending on the -2, -3 or -4 flags. Each instance will be connected to the local collab server, signed in as a different user from seed.json or seed.default.json.
Deployment
We run two instances of collab:
- Staging (https://staging-collab.zed.dev)
- Production (https://collab.zed.dev)
Both of these run on the Kubernetes cluster hosted in Digital Ocean.
Deployment is triggered by pushing to the collab-staging (or collab-production) tag in Github. The best way to do this is:
./script/deploy-collab staging./script/deploy-collab production
You can tell what is currently deployed with ./script/what-is-deployed.
Database Migrations
To create a new migration:
./script/create-migration <name>
Migrations are run automatically on service start, so run foreman start again. The service will crash if the migrations fail.
When you create a new migration, you also need to update the SQLite schema that is used for testing.
