Cap'n Proto vs Flatbuffers

In order for our customers to be happy with performance Advertima's software works we have to ensure, apart other stuff, that data transmitted between a PoI and a client flows as fast as possible.

To achieve these we have to ensure that each message sent from PoI to a client:

1. has the least size possible

2. requires as few RAM for serialization/deserialization routine as possible

3. requires as few CPU cycles for serialization/deserialization routine as possible

4. RAM used for serialization/deserialization

5. time used to serialize a JSON object

6. time used to deserialize a binary object to JSON

7. binary packet size

Prerequisites

1. install CMake via your package manager
2. install pnpm

Build Flatbuffers

1. from the project directory run ./.bin/build-flatbuffers
2. from the project directory run ./.bin/install-deps
