What is the status of Realm Sync (Beta)

[Stanislaw_Baranski]

Hello,
I’m facing the decision of choosing the tech stack for my new app. I’m wondering about the state of MongoDB/Realm Sync (Beta). Is it ready for production apps? If not, then what is the estimated release date?

Welcome to the MongoDB Community @Stanislaw_Baranski!

There have been several recent discussions on this. In particular, please see: Why the Realm for React Native is still Beta? for more context on the beta label.

Comment from @Shane_McAllister in reference to the beta label for the React Native SDK:

@Shane_McAllister

In this instance, it’s safe to assume that the version is production ready, as in we’re unaware of major issues that will corrupt or break when out of beta and in production. It’s still a beta version, so we do reserve the “right” to make breaking changes to the API, but we don’t expect to.

A more general comment on “production ready” from @Ian_Ward:

@Ian_Ward

Production ready is really a call that only you, as the product owner of your app, can make. There are a myriad of apps on the Apple/Play store that are compiled with beta libraries and MongoDB Realm has several customers already in production even though it is beta. So it is “production-ready” for those customers but perhaps its not for you - which is why we apply the beta tag, to serve as a warning.

Regards,
Stennie
