Heliodex Project Update - January 2023

Despite this month being packed with prelim exams, it had probably the most Github commits I've made in a single month.

Mercury

This project is the source of most of these commits. Mercury (v2) is a Roblox private server with a tech stack of Node, SvelteKit, and Typescript, in stark contrast with most revivals' use of PHP-based stacks. It's being created by a team with the people who worked on the original Mercury 1, and development is moving extremely quickly.

The project was my first time really managing databases, for which the project uses Postgres with Prisma as well as Redisgraph. Graph databases are a lot easier to do a ton of stuff with, and I have loved using them so far.

At the moment, Mercury is in closed beta with ~30 testers. We plan to continue work on the client over the coming weeks.


There hasn't really been anything else I've worked on this month, thought I have recently been playing around with Wails and Tauri. I'd love to build something with one of them, but I have to choose which to use first, and both are extremely cool.

Graph databases are something I definitely want to continue working with, but using them alongside a standard relational database can get glitchy if they are out of sync with each other.
