Realm vs custom sync layer: which is better for control?

The question is about Realm .

Answer:

A custom sync layer gives the most control - you shape your own server logic, data transfers, conflict handling, and security. Realm's sync is fast and built-in, but it keeps logic and scaling in Realm's cloud, limiting deep customisations. Custom sync is more complicated, but full control suits complex, specialised use cases.
