CHALLENGE + IMPACT

How can apps share data regardless of internet access?

Data sync is key for consistency and collaboration with other users, but internet dependencies can present challenges.

Latency slows down collaboration

Cloud dependencies, shared network bandwidth, and multiple hops can make data synchronization slow.

Cloud sync fails in internet dead zones

Data sync that depends on the internet stops working when connectivity is lost.

Users must share data even when offline

Teams need to share information wherever they are, regardless of connectivity.

With cloud data sync, the internet is the problem

Using only the cloud for mobile data synchronization means you depend on the internet. If it fails, so do your apps.

  • The physical distance between the cloud and edge device causes latency
  • Cloud provider issues or internet outages can take apps down
  • Offline-first collaboration requires data sharing at the edge
