🚀 Docs 6.0: welcome yhub

With this release, the collaboration server moves to yhub. This is a significant change of stack, so please read the upgrade guide before updating your instance.

yhub is a collaboration server made by @dmonad, the creator of Yjs itself, and Docs now runs on it through yhub-server, a thin wrapper tailored for Docs. It should bring better stability, and it opens the door to some amazing features that we will be able to ship soon!

A huge thank you to Kevin (@dmonad) for building it with us and for the time and care he put into this migration. 🙏

Let’s ship! 🚢
