Content warning: long, bsky, atproto, on the impossibility of multiple relays
Notes on Running a Full-Network atproto Relay (July 2024) | bryan newbold
Note: See updated post from May 2025 describing a newer, cheaper, easier to run relay implementation! These are some informal notes on setting up a full-network atproto Relay, using the bigsky relay software developed by Bluesky. This is the same software we run ourselves at https://bsky.network.

A Full-Network Relay for $34 a Month | bryan newbold
This is an update to a Summer 2024 blog post. At the time, atproto relays required a cache of the full network on local disk to validate data structures. With the Sync v1.1 updates, relays don't need all that disk I/O. What impact does that have on hosting setup and operating costs? Turns out the d...

I still wanna understand how applications can consume from multiple relays in parallel.. this was something @bad-example.com mentioned a while back and I'm still not sure I fully get it
