Proven at scale
Grow your app usage with confidence. Sync is the real-time engine behind Twilio Programmable Chat, which handles chat messages for some of the world’s largest enterprises.
Persistent state in the cloud
Save crucial development time. Twilio persists state in the cloud and synchronizes published changes to subscribed devices, so you don’t have to build your own state management.
Cross-platform
Allow users to pick up on their laptop where they left off on their iPhone. Mobile and web SDKs make it easy to manage complex state transitions with a few lines of code.
Purpose-built objects
Real-time features like presence and screen-sharing are easy to build with objects like documents, lists, and maps.
Helper libraries & quickstarts in 6 server-side languages
Build real-time capabilities into your app in the language you already use with helper libraries available from Twilio and its community.
Conflict resolution
Let users collaborate and co-edit in your app even if they are making simultaneous updates. Twilio implements optimistic concurrency control (OCC) in the REST API and SDKs for managing and resolving differences in state between users.
Local Sync
Gracefully handle devices going offline. Sync maintains state locally and automatically re-synchronizes objects once connectivity is restored.
Access Control
Keep data private between users. Twilio offers fine-grained access control for each individual object and endpoint, so you can define which users have access to what information.
Webhooks
Build custom workflows with real-time visibility into state changes. Webhooks show every event fired and allow you to build custom interactions with other products.
Data retention policies
Only keep the data that you want, for as long as you need it. Sync lets you specify when and how state data is deleted with configurable time-to-live settings for objects.
Communicate reliably
Experience a 99.95% uptime SLA made possible with automated failover and zero maintenance windows.
Operate at scale
Extend the same app you write once to new markets with configurable features for localization and compliance.
Many channels
Use the same platform you know for voice, SMS, video, chat, two-factor authentication, and more.
No shenanigans
Get to market faster with pay-as-you-go pricing, free support, and the freedom to scale up or down without contracts.
