Resilient Sync for Local First

The approach seems similar to Delta Lake's consistency model, using object storage like S3, and yet allows concurrent writers and readers: https://jack-vanlightly.com/analyses/2024/4/29/understanding...

Thanks for feedback. The link is broken for me, but I think you are referring to this page? https://jack-vanlightly.com/analyses/2024/4/29/understanding...

Indeed, the approach is similar. Especially the separation of assets (they call it "Data files") from the log ("Data log") is something I consider being a good choice.

Yes, that's the correct link. Sorry for the broken link.

If the approach works for something as heavy duty as Delta Lake, then it is should work for syncing the data of a end-user app across several devices.

Even SQLite is separating its data and WAL in separate files :)
