PowerSync

PowerSync is a sync engine that automatically synchronizes backend databases (Postgres, MongoDB, MySQL, SQL Server) with client-side SQLite, enabling offline-first and local-first applications. It consists of two components: the PowerSync Service (available as a managed cloud service or self-hosted via Docker) and a set of open-source client SDKs. Client SDKs are available for JavaScript/Web, React Native, Flutter/Dart, Kotlin, Swift, Node.js, .NET, and Rust. Authentication is handled via JWT tokens, with support for major providers including Auth0, Firebase, Supabase, Amazon Cognito, and Azure AD. PowerSync streams database changes in real-time so clients can query and mutate local SQLite without waiting on the network.

PowerSync publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Developer Tools, Database, Sync, Offline-First, and SQLite.

The PowerSync catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

PowerSync’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, changelog, and 9 more developer resources.
