AthenaDB Sync

AthenaDB Sync is the planned two-way replication model for enrolled Lite and Server replicas. Each replica can continue using its local database offline, then exchange and reconcile changes after reconnecting. Existing object-level oplog and changeset foundations remain in progress; scoped replication and AthenaDB Convergent Record Versioning are Planned / Early Access designs, not GA capabilities.

Offline work, then two-way reconciliation

Connectivity is not required for continued local use. An enrolled replica records changes locally while offline; when connectivity returns, AthenaDB Sync is designed to reconcile eligible changes in both directions.

Continue offline
Each replica keeps serving its local application and records local changes while the network is unavailable.
Reconnect securely
Only enrolled replicas with cryptographic replica identity can enter the sync relationship and exchange eligible changes.
Reconcile both ways
After reconnecting, each side exchanges changes for the whole database or its explicitly configured scope and converges deterministically.

Whole or explicitly scoped

The approved design supports whole-database replication and explicitly scoped replication. Scoped replication is Planned / Early Access and is not an implemented or GA claim.

Whole-database sync
Planned / Early Access
Replicate the whole eligible database in both directions between enrolled replicas.
Explicitly scoped sync
Planned / Early Access
Replicate only an explicitly selected tenant, workspace, case, project, table, or policy-approved data scope in both directions.

AthenaDB Convergent Record Versioning

Planned / Early Access

A planned reconciliation model that merges non-overlapping field changes, chooses a deterministic winner when both replicas change the same field, and preserves recoverable version history instead of silently discarding the losing value.

  • Changes to different fields merge into one converged record.
  • Concurrent changes to the same field use a deterministic winner on every replica.
  • Recoverable version history retains prior values for inspection or restoration.

Identity before replication

A sync peer is an enrolled replica with its own cryptographic identity, not an anonymous endpoint. Enrollment, scope, and revocation ride the Instance Trust Fabric so replication is explicit and policy-governed.
