Local-first sync with TanStack DB and Electric
James Arthur
Tanstack DB is a reactive client store for building super fast apps on sync. Paired with Electric, it provides an optimal end-to-end sync stack for local-first app development.
TanStack
TanStack is a collection of TypeScript libraries for building web and mobile apps.
Developed by an open collective, stewarded by Tanner Linsley, it's one of the best and most popular ways to build modern apps.
TanStack DB
Electric have partnered with TanStack to build TanStack DB, a reactive client store for building super fast apps on sync.
Type-safe, declarative, incrementally adoptable and insanely fast, it's the future of app development with Electric and the best way of building AI apps and agentic systems.

Maxi Ferreira also wrote an awesome interactive guide to what TanStack DB is, how it works, and why it might change the way you build apps:
