Optional.

The only offline-first database with built-in peer-to-peer networking

Keep mission-critical systems online when it matters most

Ditto is the only edge-native, mobile database that can consistently support your business anytime, anywhere. Edge-native solutions are built specifically to thrive on mobile and edge devices, without relying solely on cloud-based services.

  • Build flexible operations that are both latency-sensitive and resilient without reliance on network hardware, edge servers, or the cloud

  • Decentralize your systems to remove single points of failure that lead to operational bottlenecks

  • Drive consistent revenue and customer service anywhere, regardless of connectivity or bandwidth

“When your POS goes down, that has a true financial cost to your business”

Once Ditto is installed in your applications, write a few simple queries, and watch your mobile and edge devices automatically form mesh networks and share data directly without the need for servers or access points.

The Tech

Take a quick look at the core technology powering our peer-to-peer and cloud sync plans.


Offline-first mobile database

Even when devices are completely offline, they can always read, write, and process data

CRDT-powered conflict resolution

To resolve concurrency conflicts that appear in decentralized models, as well as enable delta-based sync, Ditto harnesses the power of conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) technology
