Getting started with Amazon Cognito Sync
If you're new to Amazon Cognito Sync, use AWS AppSync
It enables user data like app preferences or game state to be synchronized. It also extends these capabilities by allowing multiple users to synchronize and collaborate in real time on shared data.
Amazon Cognito Sync is an AWS service and client library that enable cross-device syncing of application-related user data. You can use it to synchronize user profile data across mobile devices and web applications. The client libraries cache data locally so your app can read and write data regardless of device connectivity status. When the device is online, you can synchronize data, and if you set up push sync, notify other devices immediately that an update is available.
Set up an identity pool in Amazon Cognito
Amazon Cognito Sync requires an Amazon Cognito identity pool to provide user identities. Before you use Amazon Cognito Sync you must first set up an identity pool. To create an identity pool and install the SDK, see Getting started with Amazon Cognito identity pools.
Store and sync data
After you have set up your identity pool and installed the SDK, you can start storing and syncing data between devices. For more information, see Synchronizing data.
