Does this book give ways to deal with the following: a mobile app that works offline (local replica), and then when it's online, syncs (through a server) with other devices' local replicas? I don't even know what to call this situation. I'm sure CRDTs could help with this.
- weitzj 5y agoI guess the book is more of a very well structured fast path (compared to learning from blogs) to give you a fundamental understanding of storing, transferring data. You won’t find the exact answer to your question, but reading this book enlightens you to read other things and helps you better to understand what solution to use in what case.
