“

How does itwork?

As simple as 1, 2, 3

1.  you upload your data,

•  we provide an HTTP API for that,

2.  our servers prepare it for transfer,

•  we re-package your data into optimal packs,

•  we store it on a CDN for efficient transfers,

3.  it is sent to mobile clients and stored in a local database,

•  we provide a client-side SDK for that.

Concepts

In short

Winch is a key-value data store.“

More precisely

•  your data lives in a datastore made of:

•   namespace -s which contain:

•   record -s made of:

•   key ,

•   value

It's like a collection of hash maps.

Think of it as...

datastore ~ database

namespace ~ table

key ~ primary key

value ~ data

How-to?

(1/2) Upload data on Winch server

•  We provide an HTTP API:

•  use our Python or Lua client library,

•  or use cURL from the command-line.

(2/2) Sync data with Winch client

•  We provide a SDK for iOS and Android:

•  call sync() to keep your client in sync,

•  then get your data via get(ns, key) .

It's fully-packaged and easy to use! No networking code required™.
