Dan Erez
My name is Dan Erez and I’m a seasoned architect and tech lead. I’ve worked in enterprises and startups (one acquired by VMWare) and lately been working on AI based development and DevOps related innovations. I also write technical blog posts (dan.erez@medium), speak at conferences around the world and am an avid homebrewer (not necessarily in that order).
Introducing Local First Development
Let's challenge the common 'remote back end / remote database' architecture and discuss Local First development, where the web application runs locally with a local DB (e.g. Electric) on the client side and only syncs when needed. This architecture has many advantages - it's faster, cheaper, enables the users to work offline and can even be simpler. We have used that for our field agents application and learned a lot in the process. Let me share and convince you that your next application should be designed with the Local First approach and thank me later :)
