laputa lives on

[ellie-idb]

this is a SUPER wip PR of getting laputa working as a viable alternative to the TypeScript PDS. the motivation behind a lot of this is that people may want to run a PDS on low-power embedded devices (think: <1GB of RAM), such as myself. Go works great here, and this experimental PDS only uses about <100kb of RAM. perfect for my use cases!

lots to be done here, and lots of cleanup to be done here, but this is Just Good Enough ™️ to federate with the app view. off the top of my head:

• tons of handlers are fully not implemented
• it's definitely not secure because it doesn't enforce invite codes 💀
• echo is a very mid HTTP handling library. sorry guys. i just don't love it.
• i'm probably not emitting some events in the right sequence, namely the #account event
• the PDS is emitting events to the firehose that are causing upstream consumers to crash (see: Sonar is crashing due to an invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference #857, https://bsky.app/profile/tom.frontpage.team/post/3lc3u6lalps2a).
• misc errors seen in development with relays failing to accept some repo ops due to a base mismatch
• subscribeRepos currently doesn't backfill cursors, meaning that all events emitted before a consumer connects are silently dropped (VERY BAD)

let me know if there's any interest in this! i'd love to see some of this work get upstreamed 😄

I would recommend just forking: grab the laputa code, call it something else, and develop in a separate repo. I'm leaning towards just entirely removing laputa from this repo all together.
