28. Azure Mobile Offline data sync

29. The best mobile apps handle network interruptions gracefully.

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

31. 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

32. 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

33. Fabrikam Kable
Mobile App backend reads from SQL and writes through to CRM
Mobile client SDK syncs SQLite db with Azure Mobile backend
Note: Client apps do not communicate directly with backend data source
