Design a Collaborative Editor (Google Docs)/Playground
A real-time collaborative editor
Click a part to change it, put something in front of it, or kill it. Turn the traffic up. Every number moves as you go; nothing is graded. 20,000 connections at peak with a tenth typing 5–10 operations a second; the average and four viewers per edit are assumed.
- Requests failing
- 0%
- Backlog growing

What goes through it
| Operation | Offered | Outcome | Wait | Up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edits | 15k/s | All served | 57 ms | 99.94% |
| Edits sent to viewers | 60k/s | All served | 5 ms | 99.999% |
| Snapshotsbackground | 30/s | Keeping up | – | – |
Wait is the expected time a caller waits; Up is the share of time every part it waits on is running.
What your changes did
Nothing yet. This is the reference design: change something to see what it buys and costs.
At this traffic
Risk:
Edits stop if its one instance does. Kill it to see.

Ask AI what your design does
AIThe numbers above come from a simple model. The AI reads your design, what you changed and these numbers, and explains where it holds and where it fails, citing how the engineers who built it did it. It can be wrong.
