Description

Hi,

I'm looking for any available documentation on scaling / IMC.

I know BitCraft uses IMC itself, but I can't find any documentation on it. Looking at the public code only gives a limited view on how it works. E.g. how does the relay work between different databases?

My goal: Assigning "room" tables to different databases (or regions) and having communication between them.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the public code and any existing references to scaling or IMC, since no specific file or test is named. Document how relay communication works between databases and how room tables could be assigned across databases or regions; done means those questions are answered for readers.
