Offline-First Architecture

7+ years experience

Confidence: 5/10
Proficiency Leveladvanced
Overview

A software design approach where applications are built to function without network connectivity as the primary mode, treating network availability as an enhancement rather than a requirement. This involves local data storage, conflict resolution strategies, and synchronization mechanisms to merge local and remote data when connectivity is restored.
