Offline-first field operations without sacrificing data integrity
CRDTs, conflict resolution, and sync windows for teams that work in basements, factories, and rural corridors—not only on fibre-backed laptops.
Field teams need optimistic UX: actions feel instant even when connectivity is intermittent. We model domain events idempotently so retries never double-charge or duplicate work orders.
Conflict resolution is explicit: either last-writer-wins with audit trails, or merge functions that understand the business (e.g., quantity adjustments vs. schedule shifts).
Sync windows batch deltas to protect battery and radio budgets. We surface sync status honestly in the UI so users trust the system instead of force-quitting.
Testing includes chaos on flaky networks in CI, not only happy-path emulators. Reliability in the real world is the bar.
