very interesting. seems to be handling the load exceptionally well, even if the system messages are interfering right now. latency is quite good to!

there's something I don't understand from skimming the docs: if I want to use IPFS for a project of mine, do I have to deploy a IPFS backend or there's a default I can use? it's said to be peer-to-peer so unless the peer are shared across all projects small implementation may have issues to keep availability.

edit: figured out there's a public gateway and one can also set up a private swarm. sweet!
