Networking & Persistence in Mobile Applications at Scale
summary
Claims a concrete abstraction: the Model Store that provides four capabilities — network syncing, persistence, a data stream, and mutation — and the concrete tech used to prove it: Core Data, Realm, WebSockets (client), MQTT (server), and RxSwift and RxJava for streams. Evidence: a real-time map demo of member locations, deployment on iOS and Android, 10 million monthly active users and 1.7 billion mobile API requests per day, and an anecdote that it took two years to adopt Core Data motivating the need for a swappable Core Data → Realm swap.
