SpacetimeDB research

• A breakthrough in game dev - SpacetimeDB 1.0
• How to Code Your Own Minecraft Server! - Part 1
• SpacetimeDB main website
• SpacetimeDB Unity docs
• SpacetimeDB benchmarking tool
• Row level security

Latency

• Traditional DB round-trip time? 400 microseconds to 10ms. SpaceTime DB? <1 microsecond

Consistency

Scale

• Maincloud is designed for 1000+ concurrent clients on a single database instance
• SpaceTime DB runs server-side code inside the database itself, removing the need for separate application servers.
• Vertical Scalability for the Standalone version
  • Horizontal scaling in enterprise
  • Serverless scaling resource in maincloud

Security

• Technical safeguards
  • Implementation in Rust provides memory safety.
  • Server-side code runs in sandboxed WebAssembly environments for isolation.
• Application-level security
  • Custom authorization logic via reducers, enabling fine-grained access control within the database.
  • Row-level security lets you specify which clients can access specific data rows.
