SYNC AS A SERVICE FOR CLOUD-BASED APPLICATIONS

Abstract:

A technique provides sync capability as an independent backend service, which developers can include, at their option, in their cloud-based applications. In accordance with the improved technique, a sync service runs in a backend system in connection with a set of data. The sync service syncs changes in the set of data among application instances that have access to the set of data. Sync services may be specified selectively for different sets of data, e.g., by specifying syncing for one set of data but not for another set of data.
