It's good to see a solution that makes efficient use of CPU cores on each machine instead of forcing you to scale horizontally from the beginning ;p

I think a lot of servers/database engines today tend to focus on horizontal scalability across large numbers of single-CPU instances and tend to ignore the efficiency benefits of a hybrid approach using fewer large instances.

Hey Jon, long time no see. :-)

Yes I imagine the thinking there is similar in your project, eg: Redis/CurioDB :: Node/SocketCluster (https://github.com/SocketCluster/socketcluster).

We should catch up sometime! I'd definitely like try out CurioDB at some point.
That'd be good!
