Evolu Relay
Evolu Relay provides sync and backup for Evolu clients. While it's possible to sync and backup Evolu clients among themselves (P2P), it's not practical because devices are often offline and geographically close. Backups should be stored in locations that are geographically distant from each other to ensure protection against local disasters. Evolu Relay is a simple message buffer and storage generic for all Evolu apps. Only OwnerId and Timestamp are visible. Everything else is encrypted.
Evolu Relay is open-sourced and anyone can easily run their own.
We provide a free free.evoluhq.com relay for testing. Our super secret
master plan on how to make money on that is simple: We will write apps on top
of Evolu.
Hosting Evolu Relay
