Introduction to Vaultrice

If you need to manage and synchronize application state across different clients, devices, or domains in real-time, you're in the right place.

What is Vaultrice?

At its core, Vaultrice is a global, secure key-value storage service with a real-time twist. It's designed for developers who need a simple, powerful way to manage shared data without the headache of setting up and maintaining a complex backend.

Imagine the simplicity of the browser's localStorage API, but supercharged for the cloud. Vaultrice allows you to store, retrieve, and update data from anywhere, and it uses WebSockets to instantly push changes to all connected clients. This makes it perfect for building dynamic, collaborative, and interactive applications.

Why Use Vaultrice?

You could build a similar system yourself, but Vaultrice is designed to save you time, money, and operational overhead so you can focus on what matters: building your application's features.

Instant Time-to-Value

With a familiar localStorage-like API, you can be up and running in minutes, not weeks.

🚀

Built-in Real-Time and Presence

Vaultrice includes a real-time pub/sub engine and a Presence API out of the box. You don't need to integrate and pay for a separate service like Pusher or Ably.

🌍

Global Low-Latency Performance

Built on a worldwide edge network, Vaultrice runs close to your users, ensuring minimal latency for data access no matter where they are.

🔐

Robust, Layered Security

From default transport encryption to optional client-side End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) and Object ID Signature Verification, you can choose the level of security that fits your use case.

🛠️

Zero Operations Overhead

Vaultrice is a fully managed service. It handles the scaling, monitoring, and updates, so you don't have to worry about server maintenance.

Core Use Cases

Vaultrice is flexible, but it truly shines in solving these common challenges:

🌐

Cross-Domain and Cross-Device State

Share user preferences, shopping cart contents, or session state across multiple brand websites, applications, or devices seamlessly.

👥

Collaborative Applications

Build shared whiteboards, to-do lists, simple multiplayer game lobbies, or internal dashboards where changes made by one user are instantly visible to all others.

🎛️

Real-Time Configuration and Feature Flags

Enable or disable application features in real-time without deploying new code. Centrally manage your feature flags and have all clients react to changes instantly.

How It Works: A High-Level View

The architecture is designed for simplicity and performance.

1

Your Client App, using the Vaultrice SDK, communicates with the nearest Vaultrice Cloud endpoint via a simple API call.

2

The request is processed by a Durable Object, which ensures that operations on a specific piece of data are strongly consistent.

3

Any change to the data is instantly broadcast via WebSockets to all other clients subscribed to that object.

4

The Presence API also uses this real-time layer to send join and leave events.
