Tom Wilson, Blue Apron At Blue Apron, we've been using Realm's mobile database to cache data for our app. We've been pleased with Realm's performance overall, but it has a few serious issues we've encountered. Notably, Realm doesn't play nicely with partial updates of model objects, or offer support for cascading deletes. In this talk, Tom will cover what Realm is and why we chose it, as well as explaining these drawbacks and how we've worked around them. You'll learn about how Blue Apron has decoupled our server and client data models, as well as how we've handled deleting orphaned objects. After this talk, you'll be equipped to become the ruler of your own Realm! https://goo.gl/HkmCnY droidcon NYC - http://droidcon.nyc ********************************************* droidcon NYC has become an event where the American and International Android development and design community come together to share what’s new and what they’ve been working on.
