CRDTs

While PowerSync does not use CRDTs directly as part of its sync or conflict resolution process, CRDT data (from a library such as Yjs or y-crdt) may be persisted and synced using PowerSync.

This may be useful for cases such as document editing, where last-write-wins is not sufficient for conflict resolution. PowerSync becomes the provider for CRDT data — both for local storage and for propagating changes to other clients.

Example Implementations

For an example implementation, refer to the following demo built using the PowerSync JS Web SDK:
