> data model changes must be done additive (never mutative)

Sounds painful. It means your mutative data model changes, which exist, live somewhere else.




Yep, though coming from mobile development this was somewhat familiar. A lot of mobile apps are local-first, but I don't think it was called that back when I was doing mobile. Most mobile platforms expect this and provide tools to ease migrations, like Room on Android. Since CRDT approaches are still fresh, I imagine most people are rolling their own adhoc migration strategies. Ink & Switch is working on this: https://www.inkandswitch.com/cambria/
