Decentralized Sync vs Centralized Sync
Developers should learn and use Decentralized Sync when building applications that require offline functionality, real-time collaboration without central servers, or resilience in unstable network conditions meets developers should use centralized sync when building applications that require real-time collaboration, offline capabilities, or data consistency across multiple endpoints, such as in document editing tools, cloud-based file storage (e. Here's our take.
Decentralized Sync
Developers should learn and use Decentralized Sync when building applications that require offline functionality, real-time collaboration without central servers, or resilience in unstable network conditions
Decentralized Sync
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Decentralized Sync when building applications that require offline functionality, real-time collaboration without central servers, or resilience in unstable network conditions
Pros
- +It is essential for peer-to-peer apps, decentralized social networks, and collaborative tools like distributed document editors, where data consistency must be maintained across independent nodes without a single point of failure
- +Related to: conflict-free-replicated-data-types, operational-transformation
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Centralized Sync
Developers should use Centralized Sync when building applications that require real-time collaboration, offline capabilities, or data consistency across multiple endpoints, such as in document editing tools, cloud-based file storage (e
