pretty cool: deer.social configured to point to a self-hosted bsky appview which reads from a self-hosted relay which subscribes to a self-hosted PDS which is where this "hello world" post originated it's bluesky independent from bluesky

about half of this is storing the raw records to return alongside requests

This makes me wonder how much more efficient would a Relay (or PDS) be if it's configured to accept only correctly structured records, rather than treating it as a raw document. Having a lot more guarantees about the data format feels like it could lead to far more efficient data storage.
