Edge Server is currently in preview. It is not recommended for production use.
Ditto Edge Server is a lightweight standalone server for resource-constrained edge environments, based on the core Ditto Edge SDK. With Ditto Edge Server, you can join devices as small as a Raspberry Pi to a local mesh network and synchronize data across edge environments.

​
Capabilities

  1. REST API: An interface that allows any HTTP client, including browser applications, to access and query data.
  2. Cloud Sync: Sync data with remote Ditto Server or Ditto Cloud deployments over the SDK’s WebSocket-based replication protocol.
  3. Edge Sync: Allows mobile and desktop apps based on the Ditto Edge SDK to sync data over a local mesh network, Bluetooth, and other local communication protocols.
  4. Multi-Server: Connect multiple Edge & Cloud Servers out of the box. This can let one server act as a backup for another, or keep multiple servers synced.
  5. Automatic Conflict Resolution: Data conflicts are handled at the field-level, allowing you to resolve conflicts automatically without manual intervention. See Conflict Resolution for details.
