Realm is introducing version 1.0 of its Realm Mobile Platform, which uses the company’s object database for synchronizing data on mobile devices. It supports development of “offline first” native mobile experiences.
The platform features the Realm Mobile Database, which is an embedded object database supporting Android and Apple iOS clients, and Realm Object Server, for object synchronization and event handling to synchronize data across devices. The Object Server can be deployed on servers or in the cloud.
Object databases had been considered eye-opening data management technology back in the 1990s, Realm Chief Marketing Officer Paul Kopacki acknowledged. “It was always a great idea. The world wasn’t ready for it 20 years and the technology and the technology wasn’t all the way there.
