What We Do
The Edge Sync Platform magically enabling your apps to sync data with or without an internet connection.
---
We’ve always been inspired by the power of innovative apps that bring people together. Developers who dreamed up big ideas have created entirely new industries and enriched the lives of friends, families, customers, and coworkers. Today, the best apps are the ones that help us collaborate on projects, share moments, and communicate effortlessly.
But app developers often face significant challenges creating these seamless, interconnected experiences. Whether wrestling with unpredictable internet connections or building complex and expensive backends, app developers have grappled with many complications that stand in the way of delivering magical experiences to their users. So we built Ditto, a platform for developers to build powerful ways to connect and sync apps with or without an internet connection and even without writing a single line of backend code.
