Summary

Mobile devices constantly experience coverage issues, leading to conflicts between edits made on devices while offline and data being processed on backend systems. This requires conflict resolution to ensure data integrity. A robust mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) solution can help synchronize mobile data with backend systems, enabling real-time collaboration and decision-making. However, building such a solution in-house can be challenging due to the complexity of conflict resolution and local data persistence. An integrated MBaaS solution like MongoDB's Atlas Device Sync combined with Realm can simplify this process, providing automatic refreshes when connections are reestablished and handling complex synchronization problems automatically.
