Tangled introduces Bobbin, a lightweight, API-only AppView designed to replace its existing monolithic architecture. By eliminating persistent storage and serving read operations via XRPC, Bobbin aims to reduce latency and infrastructure strain while allowing for easier distribution and backfilling of data.
Background
In the ATProto ecosystem, AppViews act as centralized aggregation layers that allow clients to query data from multiple Personal Data Servers (PDSes) efficiently. Tangled's previous implementation was tightly coupled with its web client, creating scalability and maintenance challenges.
