Atproto Ethos - AT Protocol
A deep dive into the philosophical and aesthetic principles underlying the design of AT Protocol.
atproto.com
This is an article that I've wanted to write for over a year, and I finally got the chance to do it!
Atproto Ethos is a deep dive into how we think about protocol design - its influences, the core innovations, and the opinionated takes that we've adopted

Last week we released Tap, a tool to help you sync the Atmosphere, and it got me thinking about how revolutionary backfillability really is.
The Importance of Backfillability
Our recently released tool to make it easier to backfill The Atmosphere is an important technical milestone. It's also deeply important to the goals of a decentralized protocol.

wow tap & quickslice in the same day. there's never been a better time to sync the atmosphere
My crazy idea to cram all of the AT Protocol into a single deployable container. Works with SQLite, Postgres and potentially more data stores in the future. Steps are literally deploy container -> import your lexicons -> backfill -> build your app with the GraphQL APIs.

If you want to make a copy of the entire Bluesky network (or some subset of it, or some other app built on atproto), Tap is now the best way do do it. I hope this will enable more people do do, for example, interesting social network analysis research
finally landed it!
Tap is your all-in-one sync tool for the Atmosphere: webhooks, backfill, filtering, signaling collections, no cbor/msts/signatures/cursors. this thing's got it all!
give it a go and let me know what you think & if you run into any issues

'tap' is a big deal for backend devs!
it gives you more of the benefits of AT, and makes the interface simpler at the same time.
it makes backfill easy enough that you can re-index the network as part of your ops workflow. handles re-synchronization so you never miss a record event...
