I've been very curious about electric -- the idea of giving your application a replicated subset of your databse, using your api as a proxy, is quite interesting for apps where the business layer between the db and the client is thin (our case).

edit: Also their decision to make it just one way sync makes a LOT of sense. Write access brings a lot of scary cases, so by making it only read sync eases some of my anxieties. I can still use Rest / RPC for updating the data

Convex I didnt know yet - looks really crisp (even has svelte support) ! Do you have experience with it? Does it support (decentralized) E2E?

No, Convex is a client/server system like zero, electric, instant, powersync.

If you want a fully decentralized system, check out jazz. It is the best of these currently IMO.

Yeah, my question was more about E2E, optionally decentralised.

Did you use Convex, what's your general experience?
