Summary

MongoDB's Atlas Device Sync: Edge Server and Data Ingest enable teams to maintain data across diverse devices, such as mobile phones, IoT devices, and sensors, by providing a pre-built local-first data synchronization layer. This allows for swift and efficient synchronization even in unreliable network conditions, cutting down the time it takes to build, test, and maintain a local sync solution from scratch. The capabilities cater to various industries and scenarios, including retail warehouses, mobile devices on airplanes, cruise ships, and medical records on Navy ships. Atlas Device Sync: Data Ingest supports accelerated write speeds while bypassing some of the processing involved in bi-directional sync, making it suitable for IoT applications and other use cases where write operations dominate. Additionally, C++ support is now available through a beta release, expanding the reach of synchronization solution to embedded, lightweight, low-footprint devices and Windows platforms.
