# Architecture Course - Problem 6

## #6 Real Time Collaboration

So! Finally we've built some amazing small community in our village. People are engaging, tagging things, exchanging with mutual-credit, and it's awesome.

Now people want to have some more advanced collaboration tools, that can work real-time. One major need is real-time collaborative edition of documents, eg hackmd. 

Challenges:
- How can you handle real-time interactions with feedback as immediate as possible in a fundamentally eventual consistent DHT?
- What trade-offs can you see around scaling the collaborator agents, and how are you taking those into account?

You can think about your own use case to adapt similar functionalities that you need and design for those.
