Agenda

Record the meeting
Status update on Shared components
- iOS lower version support
  - Updates made to Aries Askar & AnonCreds
  - Still need to do Indy VDR
- Custom repo for cross images for Android builds
Presentation from Karim Stekelenburg - Future architecture of Aries Framework JavaScript
- Makes sense that they're together because they're so intertwined and version synced
- Feels more like AFJ is a thin layer that brings all existing libraries together instead of re-implementing things
- Aries framework javascript as a generic SSI framework
  - what will it be called in that case?
- What's the relation of openid to Aries (is there an Aries RFC for OpenID interop?)
- Aries is mostly DIDComm, it wouldn't make that much sense to externalize DIDComm
  - Externalize can mean two things: out of the core package, same repo, or external repo
- Survey to ask how people are using AFJ? What features are people interested in?
- Diagram to see the different components and how they relate to each other?
- Supported features / roles for production use case
  - Mobile
    - (holder/verifier) wallet
    - issuer wallet
    - Issues: Performance (startup, etc.)
  - Server
    - issuer/verifier)
    - Mediator
    - Issues: Scalability
Scalability / Performance issues
- Startup time
- High load, lot of records
- (customer) encrypted database layer
- Pagination and querying of encrypted data
- Storing stringified JSON (and limitations when working with multiple processes)
