ElectricSQL: Local-First SQL Development with Elixir

Explore the concept of local-first software development and the ElectricSQL system in this conference talk from Lambda Days 2023. Dive into the challenges of developing local-first applications, including replication models, concurrency, and consistency issues. Learn how ElectricSQL addresses these challenges and enables building apps with embedded databases in the client while providing reactive, real-time, multi-user sync in the background. Discover the trade-offs of this development model and understand the role of Erlang and Elixir in the core replication layer. Gain insights into working with standard Postgres and SQLite databases in a local-first paradigm, and explore how ElectricSQL's open-source platform can revolutionize your app development process.
