Description

As experienced on vfb - we are passing OBJ objects through the reducer which lead to performance issues and is an anti-pattern. The alternative, is using the window object (as geppetto-meta is doing) which is also an anti-pattern itself.

We need to evaluate a proxy db which geppetto-meta would use to communicate heavy weighted objects to the outside world.

Research direction

Start by tracing how OBJ objects pass through the reducer and how geppetto-meta currently uses the window object. Read the linked IndexedDB API documentation and evaluate whether a proxy database can communicate heavy-weight objects without those patterns. Done means the approach, scope, and acceptance criteria are documented.
