We are now planning to add a remote storage feature, so that users can access and share the same project file over the Internet (meaning they can read, edit and save the same project file). This could be easily implemented with HTTP file transfer (or FTP) but we face two problems: 1. We have a lot of users (over 15 000), that means a potential high number of concurrent accesses and our server won't be able to handle it. 2. There should be some sort of file locking protocol to avoid race condition, like: -User A opens project file -User B opens same project file -User B modify and save project file -User A modify and save project file => User A action will overwrite user B modifications. Has anyone worked with this kind of application? Suggestions are appreciated (protocols, scalable servers, etc.) Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 1 post ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
