Platform Sync Connector

The Platform Sync, previously known as the Hosted GET connector lets you expose Data Source rows from your own systems, for direct access by your app.


The key advantage of the Platform Sync connector is that you can control the data rows being exposed to the app, letting you filter rows down to the individual app user level as desired. For ERP, CRM, and other enterprise systems this is important as the security/permissions around "who gets to see what" is critical. 

A secondary benefit is that your data does not need to be pushed to our platform, so any data sovereignty concerns you may have are resolved by this connector.
One final benefit is that Data Sources that run off of Platform Sync connectors are not subject to the standard 50,000-row limit, since the rows are delivered directly to the device.

NOTE: There are still performance limits on the app side when the rows become large - this varies across Android and IOS, and also depends heavily on the device specifications.

As a rule of thumb, performance is affected by the overall file size of the data source more than the number of rows.

For example, 5,000 rows containing say 100k of text data per row can be expected to run slower than 50,000 rows that have a total of 1k of data per row (e.g. columns containing say just numbers and a few short text strings).
