Azure Mobile Offline data sync

The best mobile apps handle network interruptions gracefully.

Adding offline sync to an app is usually hard Adding offline sync to an app is usually hard. With Azure Mobile, it’s easy.

Why use mobile offline sync? Improve app responsiveness by caching server data locally on the device Make apps resilient against intermittent network connectivity Allow end-users to create and modify data even when there is no network access Sync data across multiple devices Detect and handle conflicts when the same record is modified by more than one client

How it works Access data from Mobile Services tables even when app is offline Keep a local queue of Create, Update, Delete operations and synchronize with server when app is back online Detect conflicts when same item is changed both locally and on server Use soft delete to remove deleted records from client data stores Can use push notifications to trigger client sync
