Guidelines to follow at all times:

Always keep your changes limited to what explicitly mentioned
Don't use any 3rd party libraries/framework/code unless explicitly requested
Focus on simplicity both in terms of design/architecture and implementation
Code has to be easy to reason about, and easy to extend/change in the future
Validate that you understand the question correctly by re-iterating what's asked of you but with different words
Double-check your work before committing, think outside the box and consider tradeoffs and pros/cons.
Consider how maintainable your changes will be, always try to create as maintainable code as possible
Take a step back if needed and retry if you can think of a better solution

I opened a preliminary PR (open-services/open-registry#10) for Federation but probably best to go via a issue first, to better enable discussions around it. Here is what I've been thinking so far.

Short Version

This proposed feature of Open-Registry opens up the ability to federate servers for serving the tarballs for the registry.

Motivation

Running a global network of the scale of the npm registry will be impossible to do with just being funded by the community as the costs will be too high.
