Intro

• Since its announcing in September, 2016, Realm
  mobile platform was highly awaited technology and
  its first stable release in January, 2017 proved
  its worth. Its proficiency to allow two way data
  sync between the Realm Object Server and the
  client side databases and event handling capacity
  have enabled the development of futuristic mobile
  apps.

Realm at a Glance

• Realm is a savvy mobile platform that is
  developed after adequate understanding of the
  latest mobile app development challenges. It also
  holds the caliber to expand the developers
  vision for upcoming mobile trends. Following are
  few of its strength characteristics
• Freedom for Hosting Realm Mobile Platform can be
  hosted on-premises as well as on cloud
• Object-based Realm is object-based hence object
  itself reflects the database. Developers can
  easily keep themselves away from ORM related
  difficulties
• Offline-first capabilities Realm can deliver
  extensive offline-first experiences due to the
  embedded Realm Mobile Database on the device
• Easy to integrate It can easily be integrated
  with existing infrastructure
• It supports to server side business logic

Explore Realms real time data sync capabilities
through Hello World Application

• We have created a Hello World mobile
  application that enables the user to draw any
  sketch or to write the text by using virtual
  pencils. We will explore Realm mobile platforms
  real time data sync capabilities through it.
• Process Flow
• Our application Hello World is being used by
  two users situated at different geographical
  locations through their iOS devices gtgt They are
  sharing the sketches by drawing them through
  virtual pencils on their individual
  devices gtgt While one user is drawing the sketch
  in his device, the other user is able to view the
  sketch development process in real time (the same
  shape and color codes are visible to another
  person).

How to utilize Realms real time data sync
capabilities has been explained in three steps

• Realm Object Server Configuration
• Realm Application User Authentication
• Real Time Sync Process

Step-1 Realm Object Server Configuration

• Download Mac OS Bundle OR Linux OS Bundle
• Open realm-mobile-platform folder and Start
  Realm Object Server by double-clicking the file
  start-object-server.command
• This will open one terminal window and start
  Realm server.
• It will automatically open the dashboard as
  displayed in the image below. This dashboard is
  browser based application which provides few
  required information like Dashboard, Realms,
  Users, Functions, etc.

2.Successful login will enable the user to sync
his actions with Realm server in real time.

Step-3 Real time syncing

• 1. Whenever the user performs any action on our
  Realm Hello World application (e.g. User starts
  drawing on iOS device), application will sync the
  details with realm server (Here, the application
  will sync the color code coordinate (x,y points)
  to realm server on real time). As described
  below, all the coordinates are getting added to
  Realm array which eventually will be synced to
  realm server.

• 2. The application will down sync the data from
  the server and display it on the screen of
  another authenticated user who is already
  connected to Realm server.

• Because of Realm Mobile Platforms distinctive
  potential, development of functionalities such as
  two way data sync, off line first capability and
  endpoint computing are no more complex,
  complicated or high priced features in context of
  development, implementation and maintenance. As a
  developer, I am eagerly looking forward to
  Realms further advancements.
