Epic Games Presented Open-Sourced Version Control System

Epic Games vừa giới thiệu Lore, hệ thống kiểm soát phiên bản mã nguồn mở dành riêng cho dự án game và giải trí kết hợp code với tài sản nhị phân lớn. Lore xử lý file nhị phân như thành phần chính nhờ lưu trữ theo khối, loại bỏ trùng lặp và tải dữ liệu theo nhu cầu, sử dụng kiến trúc tập trung có địa chỉ nội dung với Merkle trees và chuỗi phiên bản bất biến.

Những lập trình viên làm game hoặc phát triển dự án đa media sẽ tìm hiểu Lore vì nó giải quyết những thách thức về quản lý phiên bản và lưu trữ binary phức tạp mà Git không thể xử lý hiệu quả, đặc biệt trong môi trường cần độ ổn định và hiệu suất cao như các dự án lớn.
