RC4 roadmap

[psanders]

The areas of focus for RC4 are:

• Freeze changes in the public API(apiVersion == v1beta1)
• Replace the testing tool with Mocha and Istanbul to allow for test coverage
• Bring GraalJS as the default JS engine
• Re-write the Location module to improve performance
• Review the architecture to allow for better decoupling and scalability
• Work on bringing the server to the following platforms:
  • Ubuntu Snaps
  • DigitalOcean droplet
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • Google Cloud Shell
  • Custom
• Bring the routr-ui to a beta version
• Add experimental support for IPv6

For more scalability, I have one additional idea:
Try to make location store in external database such as redis so that you can make your work stateless.

I'm glad you say that. I'm looking at different ways to delegate as much as possible the state of the application. As you point, one option is using a database like Redis. Another option could be using a Distributed Hash Tables, but I have yet to find a good implementation for my use case.

Perhaps I have to experiment with both options and see which one yields better performance.

I am looking forward to your great work!
