Local-first is often seen as eliminating your API. But what if you like your API or need to keep it as part of your stack? This post shows how you can develop local-first apps incrementally, using your existing API.
Electric Next is a new approach that we've adopted to building Electric. One that's informed by the lessons learned building the previous system and inspired by new insight from Kyle Mathews.

To set the tone for 2024, we're kicking January off with a fresh release of Electric that introduces a whole slew of improvements to the experience of configuring, deploying, and developing with Electric.
One of the most common questions we get asked about developing on ElectricSQL and local-first in general is how to do secure, confirmed transactions like bookings and payments.

Local-first software is the natural evolution of state-transfer. It enables a modern, realtime multi-user experience, with built in offline support, resilience, privacy and data ownership.
José Valim, the creator of Elixir, distributed systems expert Kevin De Porre and startup engineering veteran Garry Hill have joined Electric.
Web development has been progressing through an evolution of state transfer. Local-first is the natural endgame and the vision we're working towards with Electric.
In this post we explore the assumptions that distributed databases are based on and investigate how causal consistency fits the reality of a relativistic universe.

Rich-CRDTs are conflict-free data types (“CRDTs”) extended to provide additional (“Rich”) database guarantees. These guarantees, such as constraints and referential integrity, make building local-first applications much simpler.
