Realm Sync Documentation
This documentation is for a legacy product. The latest Realm Sync is now part of MongoDB Realm. See the current documentation at https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/.
Realm Sync (legacy) will be fully deprecated on November 1, 2021. Please see our migration guide.
This space contains all of the ins and outs of working with synced realms and 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.
