Description

I cannot seem to find a good explanation of how SpacetimeDB handles multi threading... multiple reducers can be run concurrently... right? if so which architecture is used? It isn't MVCC, right?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SpacetimeDB documentation and the issue's unanswered questions about concurrent reducers, threading architecture, and MVCC. Map the current explanation gaps before documenting how multi-threading works, which architecture is used, and whether MVCC applies; done means a newcomer can find and understand those answers.
