anexpia/syncee

A data replication library for easy & flexible server to client replication.

Syncee

A high-performance, flexible, optionally schema-driven one-way data replication library for Roblox that gives you complete control over how tables are replicated to clients with a simple intuitive API.

Key Features

  • Simple & Flexible: Easily replicate tables & buffers to specific clients with full control over replication targets.
  • Buffer Support
  • Delta Replication: Only replicates what changes within tables and buffers.
  • Schemas: Schemas can be defined per table if needed to minimize bandwidth.
  • Ratelimiting: Each table and buffer can be ratelimited individually.
  • Proxies: You can create proxies for tables that automatically handle updates, with near-full support when used as parameters in Syncee's API.

How it differs

Compared to alternatives present, Syncee handles replication differently and provides more features.

  • You do not need to explicity mark tables for replication.
  • Replicating anything is through a single function call.
  • Not path-based. Tables and buffers are each assigned a single ID.
  • Doesn't modify tables in any way or force you to use proxies. They are optional.
  • Supports having multiple copies of same table and cyclic tables.
  • Supports buffer delta replication.

Syncee does not handle sending the data to clients on its own. It lets you do this yourself so you can integrate it into your own networking solution.
