Yorkie

Yorkie is an open-source document store for building real-time collaborative applications. It uses JSON-like documents(CRDT) with optional types.

Yorkie consists of three main components: Client, Document and Server.

 Client "A" (Go)               Server(Cloud or Self-Hosted)  MongoDB or MemDB
┌───────────────────┐           ┌────────────────────────┐   ┌───────────┐
│  Document "D-1"   │◄─Changes─►│  Project "P-1"         │   │ Changes   │
│  { a: 1, b: {} }  │           │ ┌───────────────────┐  │◄─►│ Snapshots │
└───────────────────┘           │ │  Document "D-1"   │  │   └───────────┘
 Client "B" (JS)                │ │  { a: 2, b: {} }  │  │
┌───────────────────┐           │ │                   │  │

┌────────────────────┐              ▲

└────────────────────┘

Key Features:

• Clients: Clients can have a local replica of the document representing an application model on several devices.
• Offline Editing: Each client can independently update the document on their local device, even while offline.
• Synchronization: When a network connection is available, the client figures out which changes need to be synced from one device to another, and brings them into the same state.
• Conflict Resolution: If the document was changed concurrently on different devices, Yorkie automatically syncs the changes, so that every replica ends up in the same state with resolving conflicts.
• Database Integration: Yorkie supports MongoDB and MemDB as the underlying data storage.
