The article discusses the significance of decentralized event distribution in Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, particularly in the multi-cloud environment. Traditional cloud-dependent event mechanisms are incompatible with this setup. The authors present GossipSub as an effective messaging system for decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3. This system utilizes a mesh network for robust message propagation, allowing for efficient event consumption across different cloud platforms. GossipSub's publish-subscribe model is essential for facilitating decentralized communication, providing scalability and reliability necessary for modern applications.
In this work, we use GossipSub to build the event distribution system for dApps and Web3 applications. GossipSub is a robust message propagation system adopted by several important blockchain systems.
GossipSub works in the publish-subscribe mode that relies on a mesh network structure and a score function to disseminate messages, enabling decentralized communication.
