Yjs Persistence: 

Control data files like a pro
Take full control of your data with efficient Yjs persistence solutions, tailored to fit your application’s environment. Synergy Codes helps you integrate Yjs while giving you the flexibility to store and manage your collaborative data exactly how you need it.
With Yjs persistence, you’re not limited to specific storage solutions. While many choose databases like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or MySQL, you can also maintain your data outside traditional setups.
Save Yjs updates as files directly on services like AWS S3, similar to the approach used by tools like Figma. This flexibility allows you to optimize costs and performance for your unique needs.
No matter if you’re working with an existing app or starting from scratch – we adjust your environment to facilitate Yjs persistence.

FAQ
- Can you integrate Yjs with my existing tech stack?
Yes, Yjs integrates seamlessly with any tech stack as it’s a JavaScript library that works independently of specific frameworks. It offers compatibility across network providers and supports syncing data with databases or peer-to-peer setups like WebRTC. Additionally, we specialize in custom integrations tailored to your unique requirements, going beyond standard implementations.
- How does object locking work in collaborative editing?
Object locking ensures that when a remote user manipulates an object, others cannot alter it simultaneously. This prevents conflicts when data is manipulated concurrently. Collaboration workflows are simplified and enhanced with this feature.
- What are the benefits of Yjs for real-time collaboration?
Yjs offers robust real-time synchronization for peers, supports shared data types like arrays and maps, handles edits manipulated concurrently, and provides UndoManger working in multiuser environment. Its network-agnostic design means it works with any network provider or database.
- What is Yjs for?
Yjs is a library for enabling real-time collaboration across applications. It synchronizes common data types, such as arrays, maps, and text, in real time for peers or remote users. It supports integration with various stacks and ensures consistent updates using technologies like WebSockets and WebRTC for seamless communication.
- Does Yjs even work for my apps?
Absolutely. Yjs is a lightweight JavaScript library that integrates easily with any framework or state management system. Its flexibility allows seamless adoption in a wide range of applications, from collaborative editing to real-time multi-user interactions. No matter if you’re using React, Angular, or custom-built solutions, Yjs can fit effortlessly into your app architecture and is a solid option!
- Is this the right technology?
If you need real-time, multi-user collaboration with features like conflict resolution, offline support, and efficient data synchronization, Yjs is the perfect choice. It uses CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) to ensure consistent changes across users without conflicts. Yjs is highly scalable and integrates well with various storage options like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or AWS S3, making it a reliable backbone for collaborative applications. For teams focused on reducing time-to-market while maintaining performance, Yjs is hard to beat.
