In this TKYT session #60 I interviewed Kevin from Electric SQL about the concept of local first and its application in web development.
We discussed the importance of data ownership, collaboration, and real-time functionality in modern applications.
Kevin explains how Electric SQL works by syncing data between clients and the cloud, allowing for instant reactivity, real-time multi-user collaboration, and conflict-free offline functionality.
We also explore the benefits of using CRDTs (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types) and how Electric SQL leverages technologies like IndexedDB and WebAssembly SQLite to achieve these features.
