Ditto
Ditto is the only mobile database that comes with built-in edge connectivity and offline resilience, allowing apps to sync data without depending on servers or continuous access to the cloud. As billions of mobile and edge devices—and the deskless workers using them—form the backbone of modern operations, organizations are running into the constraints of conventional cloud-first systems. Used by leaders like Chick-fil-A, Delta, Lufthansa, and Japan Airlines, Ditto is at the forefront of the edge-native movement, reshaping how businesses operate, sync, and stay connected beyond the cloud. By removing the need for external hardware, Ditto’s software-based networking lets companies develop faster, more fault-tolerant applications that perform even in disconnected environments—no cloud, server, or Wi-Fi required.
Leveraging CRDTs and peer-to-peer mesh replication, Ditto allows developers to build robust, collaborative applications where data remains consistent and available to all users—even during complete offline scenarios. This ensures business-critical systems remain functional exactly when they’re needed most.
Ditto follows an edge-native design philosophy. Unlike cloud-centric approaches, edge-native systems are optimized to run directly on mobile and edge devices. With Ditto, devices automatically discover and talk to each other, forming dynamic mesh networks instead of routing data through the cloud. The platform seamlessly handles complex connectivity across online and offline modes—Bluetooth, P2P Wi-Fi, LAN, Cellular, and more—to detect nearby devices and sync updates in real time.
