NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Electric is a local-first sync framework for mobile and web applications. Local-first is a development paradigm where your application code talks directly to an embedded local database and data syncs in the background via an active-active database replication to the central database. With Electric, you have SQLite as the local embedded option and PostgreSQL for the central store. Although local-first greatly improves user experience, it is not without challenges, and the inventors of CRDT have worked on the Electric framework to ease the pain.
