I imagine the federation of Wikibase instances becoming part of the solution:

Along those lines, I wonder if there is potential for Wikibase as a component in the W3C

Subject: [External] Re: [Wikidata] Are we ready for our future
I agree it is not clear what is being discussed here. It is growing, but in (my opinion)
in a positive way, i.e. being accepted as a viable knowledge graph.

Hi!
Indeed, Wikidata grows and will continue growing. But I don't see
clearly what the purpose of this thread is. Is it to propose possible
technical and financial improvements?

Hoi,
Wikidata grows like mad. This is something we all experience in the
really bad response times we are suffering. It is so bad that people are
asked what kind of updates they are running because it makes a
difference in the lag times there are.
Given that Wikidata is growing like a weed, it follows that there are
two issues. Technical - what is the maximum that the current approach
supports - how long will this last us. Fundamental - what funding is
available to sustain Wikidata.
For the financial guys, growth like Wikidata is experiencing is not
something you can reliably forecast. As an organisation we have more
money than we need to spend, so there is no credible reason to be stingy.
For the technical guys, consider our growth and plan for at least one
year. When the impression exists that the current architecture will not
scale beyond two years, start a project to future proof Wikidata.
It will grow and the situation will get worse before it gets better.
Thanks,
GerardM
PS I know about phabricator tickets, they do not give the answers to the
questions we need to address.
