My main thing is I don't want to think in terms of raw data from my database to the customer database, I have higher level API concepts.
Would be cool if there was some kind of sync protocol I could implement where prequel sent a request with a "last fetched" timestamp and the endpoint replied with all data to be updated.
Kind of like this: https://doc.replicache.dev/server-pull https://doc.replicache.dev/server-pull
- ctc24 4y agoThat’s actually pretty close to how we connect to APIs today, but I love the idea of streamlining it as a protocol. We’re still working on improving the dev experience, especially around APIs, and would love to chat more if you have more feedback!
