For anyone curious as to what local-first means, this is an architecture where APIs and state transfer protocols like REST / GraphQL are replaced by a local copy of the database.
Their thesis is that APIs that can only be consumed over the network will inherently be slower than the super low latency of a local database.
ElectricSQL handles the syncing of local databases and transparently resolves any conflicts that may arise to a central Postgres database (in the cloud).
