Real-Time Collaborative Coding Environment
A platform for developers to collaborate on coding projects in real-time, featuring live code sharing and version control to boost remote team productivity.
Overview
The goal was to develop a real-time collaborative coding platform that enables developers to write, edit, and debug code simultaneously in a shared environment. Inspired by tools like VS Code Live Share and CodeSandbox, we wanted to provide an interactive, cloud-based development space.
Challenges Faced
Latency & Synchronization – Keeping multiple developers in sync with live code updates in real-time.
Version Conflicts – Managing simultaneous edits without overwriting changes or causing inconsistencies.
Performance on Low-Speed Networks – Ensuring smooth experience despite potential network fluctuations.
Solutions Implemented
WebSockets for Real-Time Sync: We used WebRTC & WebSockets to ensure instant updates across all participants.
Operational Transformations (OT): Implemented a conflict-resolution algorithm that merges changes in real-time without overriding edits.
Offline Mode with Auto-Sync: Changes are saved locally and auto-merged once the connection is restored.
Docker-Based Cloud Execution: Users can compile and run their code inside secure Docker containers with predefined environments.
