I don't understand what GoInstant does, the "How it Works" page tells me nothing. How does the real time functionality work? Is it MVCC, Operational Transformation, just a locking protocol?
GoInstant offers a hierarchical key-value store that is synchronized between all users inside your application. We offer a couple of mechanisms when last-to-write is not sufficient.
You can use set overwrite[1] (similar to redis SETNX) with key expiry[2] to create locks and then leverage our ACL[3] to secure[4] which users and groups can modify the data.
We are currently planning to implement MVCC based transactions and operational transformation primitives into our core Key interface. I can't say when these features will be ready, but we definitely want to get to them!
