This section provides a practical decision framework for when offline-first is justified. It identifies the operational questions, architecture boundaries, evidence, and failure handling that should be resolved before implementation.
Local data and write ownership
This section provides a practical decision framework for local data and write ownership. It identifies the operational questions, architecture boundaries, evidence, and failure handling that should be resolved before implementation.
Synchronization and retry policy
This section provides a practical decision framework for synchronization and retry policy. It identifies the operational questions, architecture boundaries, evidence, and failure handling that should be resolved before implementation.
Conflict resolution
This section provides a practical decision framework for conflict resolution. It identifies the operational questions, architecture boundaries, evidence, and failure handling that should be resolved before implementation.
Observability and support
This section provides a practical decision framework for observability and support. It identifies the operational questions, architecture boundaries, evidence, and failure handling that should be resolved before implementation.
