Design, build, and scale offline‑capable, edge‑ready applications using Ditto’s peer‑to‑peer, local‑first synchronization.
Introduction
Frontline, field, and in‑store operations need applications that work even when the network doesn’t. We partner with Ditto to turn local‑first sync, peer‑to‑peer mesh networking, and conflict‑tolerant data models into production‑grade mobile and edge solutions—integrated with your systems and ready to scale.
Objectives
- Architect the right local‑first design. Define data models, sync scopes, and conflict‑resolution expectations; select transports (BLE, Wi‑Fi Direct/LAN) and mesh patterns.
- Deliver resilient user journeys. Keep critical workflows fully functional offline; shift to cloud opportunistically when connectivity returns.
- Integrate cleanly with enterprise back ends. Wire Ditto Edge SDK clients and server components to your APIs and identity controls.
- Operationalize at scale. Establish observability, cost‑efficient operations, and secure practices across fleets and locations.
Key Activities
- Discovery & Prioritization – Map offline‑critical workflows, SLAs, compliance constraints; identify pilot scope and scale path.
- Architecture & Data Modeling – Define device roles, topology, sync filters, permissions, and retention; model documents and indexes.
-
Connectivity & Mesh Strategy – Select transports and discovery settings; design fallback and cloud handoff rules.
-
Prototype & Build – Implement SDK integration, sync queries, and conflict‑tolerant UX; integrate with enterprise services.
-
Security & Compliance – Apply least‑privilege access, encryption, audit logging, and data minimization.
-
Performance & Scale Readiness – Test concurrency, latency, battery/thermal, and large‑mesh scenarios; tune indexes and filters.
-
Knowledge Transfer – Hands‑on enablement, reference implementation, and runbooks.
Deliverables
- Reference Architecture & Blueprint (local‑first design, mesh strategy, integration patterns).
-
Data & Sync Design Pack (schemas, indexes, scope/permission rules, merge expectations).
- Working Prototype or Feature Slice with Ditto Edge SDK wiring and CI/CD scaffolding.
-
Operational Runbook (observability, incident playbooks, SRE guardrails).
-
Executive Readout (value, risks, scale roadmap).
Engagement Approach and Timelines
Phase 1: Scoping & Kickoff (1–2 Weeks)
Objectives, measures of success, and target use cases.
Phase 2: Build Sprint (varies based on scope)
Iterative delivery of a pilot slice with user validation.
Phase 3: Field Validation & Handoff (varies based on scope)
Hardening, ops handover, and scale plan.
Ideal Client Profile
Enterprises with deskless/edge operations (retail, aviation/transport, logistics, healthcare, public sector) where intermittent connectivity is the norm.
Why Quest1
- Deep mobile/edge expertise and a co‑sell posture with next‑gen platforms like Ditto.
- Enterprise track record in regulated environments.
- Outcome‑first delivery with reusable blueprints that accelerate scale.
