Sync Without the Stack.

Build real-time sync into your product—without stitching together multiple disjointed tools.

THE PROBLEM

The five workarounds every Sync team builds

Teams building sync engines on traditional databases end up reinventing the same infrastructure. Each workaround adds complexity, fragility, and months to the roadmap.

Bolted-On Change Detection

Traditional databases don't know what changed. Teams add database triggers, polling loops, or CDC pipelines just to detect mutations—each with its own failure modes and lag.

Impact

2-4 months of engineering + ongoing maintenance

External Event Distribution

Once changes are detected, teams need Kafka or RabbitMQ to fan them out. Now you're operating two systems: a database for storage and a broker for distribution.

Impact

Kafka cluster ops + topic management + connector configs

History Reconstruction

CRUD architecture overwrites state. To replay or audit changes, teams build custom event logs, shadow tables, or append-only stores alongside the main database.

Impact

Duplicate storage + reconciliation logic + drift risk

DIY Ordering & Conflict Resolution

Concurrent edits from multiple clients need deterministic ordering. Without native support, teams build custom sequence counters, version vectors, and merge logic.

Impact

Most complex workaround — often the root of subtle data bugs

Subscription Management

Each client needs to subscribe to specific data changes. Teams build custom pub/sub, WebSocket routing, and subscription state management on top of generic infrastructure.

Impact

Custom routing layer + connection management + scaling headaches

The Sync complexity tax

6-12 months of plumbing

3-5 systems to operate

Fragile glue code

No replay or audit trail

Topology lock-in

Rising infrastructure cost

THE SOLUTION

One database. Everything Sync needs.

KurrentDB eliminates all five workarounds with a single event-native database. Changes are captured as immutable events with built-in streaming, ordering, history, and subscriptions—so your team focuses on sync logic, not infrastructure.

Native Change Streams

Every write to KurrentDB is immediately available as a real-time stream. No triggers, no CDC, no polling. Clients subscribe to the changes they care about.

No more CDC pipelines

No more database triggers

No more polling loops

Full Event History

Events are stored immutably with unlimited retention. Replay from any point in time, rebuild state, debug production issues, or onboard new clients from the event log.

No more shadow tables

No more log parsing

No more DIY event stores

Guaranteed Global Ordering

Every event gets a deterministic position in the stream. Native optimistic concurrency control resolves conflicts without application-level locking or version vectors.

No more custom sequence counters

No more vector clocks

No more merge logic

Built-In Subscriptions

Persistent, catch-up, and filtered subscriptions out of the box. Clients reconnect and resume from their last known position—no custom pub/sub layer needed.

No more message brokers

No more WebSocket routing

Flexible Stream Topologies

Organize data into streams per-user, per-workspace, per-entity—and change the topology at runtime. Projections and connectors transform data without touching the source.

No more topology lock-in

No more schema migrations

No more downtime for refactoring

Semantic Events

Events capture why something changed, not just what changed. "UserMovedTask" contains intent that CDC row mutations can never express.

No more CDC row diffs

No more opaque mutation logs

Write events, not rows

Every state change is captured as a named, immutable event — like "OrderPlaced" or "ItemShipped". Events carry business meaning, not just data diffs.

Streams organize everything

Events are grouped into fine-grained streams by entity — one stream per customer, order, or device. No duplication, guaranteed ordering, and scalable to billions of streams.

Subscribe and react in real time

Clients subscribe to the streams they care about and receive updates the moment they're written. Catch-up subscriptions replay history from any point for consistency.

Why teams choose Kurrent for Sync

Replace 5 tools with 1

Stop stitching together Redis, Kafka, CDC pipelines, audit logs, and cache invalidation. KurrentDB handles storage, streaming, and history natively.

Evolve safely

Change your Sync topology—per-user, per-workspace, per-team—without downtime. One-way door decisions become two-way doors.

Sleep at night

Full event history, deterministic replay, and immutable audit trails. Know exactly what happened, when, and why—across every client.
