Re: [Rails] Best way to data sync between Rails app and phone

Ruby on Rails Saturday, July 22, 2017


Data will get updated on both sides ie., admin update data on web which needs to be synced with mobile and vice versa. Most of the users use mobile application offline mode as there is no network connectivity. Once the work done for entire day, they will be online and starts sync the data with server. Then we needs to sync recent updates. The data is unique for that user and remaining the users wont update the data apart from admin. 

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.

The one that meets your requirements, which you haven't defined.

* Where is the data changing that needs to be "synced"?

* Is the synced data on the phone unique to that user or shared?

* How frequently does it change and how big are the changes?

* How critical is it if the phone goes offline with data that's 5 seconds
old? 5 minutes? An hour?

etc. etc.

Draw a diagram of your application data flow and work from there.

HTH!
