Local Storage and Synchronization

This document discusses using local storage on mobile devices and synchronizing data between local and server storage. It recommends caching data locally to optimize performance and allow for offline use, while limiting direct calls to backend systems. When synchronizing data, the document advises adopting the correct sync frequency and granularity, avoiding long transactions, and using incremental syncs with partial commits to handle retries gracefully.
