Thanks J. My worry with CRUD is a constant polling that would be required and it absolutely kills the battery on mobile handsets. Correct me if I am wrong.

The CRUD layer wouldn't be used for live updates. You'd use a separate messaging system for that. My point is that you should build the 100% reliable CRUD layer first, then add on a messaging layer for realtime push. This, as opposed to starting with the messaging layer, and then going in circles trying to patch all the ways it can fail.

J This is fair. Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I'd definitely make sure that we have a CRUD layer for reliable & secure communication.

J

Would you have some cycles to provide guidance on the project - formally? I am looking for some technical experience/depth.

Thanks
