Despite all the hype about cloud storage, many people still want their primary data store to be on their local machine, and for good reason: you get better bandwidth and latency, and your data is available even when the network is down (or if the FBI raids the datacenter). At the same time, cloud storage makes for good backup, plus you can share data with other people.

Egnyte’s Local Cloud is a hybrid of local data and cloud storage that does automatic bidirectional synchronization. We encountered and solved a number of problems along the way, including:

Managing SQLite’s lack of concurrent access
Compressing data transfers with librsync
Ensuring failsafe downloads
Dealing with open files on Windows
Compressing upload data
Handle conflicting local/remote updates

The presentation will include both discussion of problem/solution and code samples.
