Ipfs-cluster across multiple datacenter

Help IPFS Cluster

Hey, I was interested in how ipfs-cluster do it’s pin-set orchestration in the case when multiple datacenters take part in the network? more specifically how does it decide where the replicas should be stored.
Moreover, I was looking to contribute to this project. Can someone point me to some start point and what previous knowledge I would be required to understand the codebase and have to give back community some meaningful contribution?

Thanks in Advance.

Hello,

currently it uses an allocation strategy based on free ipfs repository space, so that pins get allocated to peers with most free space.

Can someone point me to some start point and what previous knowledge I would be required to understand the codebase and have to give back community some meaningful contribution?

This is a good place to start: https://cluster.ipfs.io/documentation/developer/contribute/
