Realm Sync Documentation
This space contains all of the ins and outs of working with synced realms. This space of our documentation is relevant for both cloud and self-hosting users. You'll find basic code snippets and all of the details regarding working with your instance of the Realm Object Server. You will often find that this section of our documentation points back to the client SDK docs. You will need to use the two domains in conjunction.
The Realm Platform is comprised of both mobile SDKs and server components. As a result, different users will have different informational needs. In this section, we'll try to highlight the areas that you'll find most helpful.

Our sync documentation contains all of the ins and outs of working with synced realms. This space of our documentation is relevant for both cloud and self-hosting users. You'll find basic code snippets and all of the details regarding working with your instance of the Realm Object Server. You will often find that this section of our documentation points back to the client SDK docs. You will need to use the two domains in conjunction.
Audience: Developers working with either local or synced Realms
​General Documentation for our Client SDKs can be found here. From this landing page, you'll want to select your language of choice (i.e. Swift, Java, etc). In each Client SDK, you'll be able to learn syntax, find code snippets, and learn about best practices.
Audience: Operators who are hosting their own Realm Object Server instance or Realm Cloud users who want to know how things work behind the scenes
​This section of the documentation focuses mostly on tasks associated with hosting your own instance of the Realm Object Server. You'll find information on installation, configuration, and server management. Realm Cloud users can also learn more about the underlying service provided to them.
The best way to get started is to try Realm Platform out for yourself! Head over to our Getting Started documentation for a comprehensive walkthrough. You'll start by getting an instance of the Realm Object Server and then learn the basics of syncing mobile data through a variety of mobile and server exercises.
