- 19. What have customers told us about “Synchronized Profile” People have multiple devices and want to transition between devices. Implementing a user profile that syncs across devices, OS, apps is hard. It not only has to work when offline, but easy to integrate with existing apps.

Local data is available regardless of connectivity • No Backend Simple client SDK eliminates need for server side code User Data Identity Pool
- 21. Sync Data Model • Identity Pool: Pool of app users. Can be shared across apps. • Identity: An individual user. Consistent across identity providers. Can be a guest user. • Dataset: Per user grouping of data. The most granular level of sync. Up to 1MB. • Record: Key/Value pair user data AWS Account Dataset Identity IdentityIdentity Dataset Dataset Identity Pool 1:60 1:n 1:20 Dataset Dataset Record 1:1024
