Our take
While it's convenient to assume that all the data an app needs is always located in a single place, the reality is more messy. Multi-cloud platforms, IoT devices with varied or limited connectivity and even smartphones can hold necessary data for many applications. The problem for developers is how to tame, access and use this data. Ditto exists to fix this, providing a distributed database that pulls and synchronises data from edge devices and the cloud.
Able to operate even in locations without internet, using peer-to-peer WiFi, Bluetooth and wired networks to pull data together, it provides a layer of infrastructure which is increasingly required as IoT picks up steam. However, it is not the only entrant in this growing market, and faces competition from the likes of Whalesync, PieSync and Grouparoo.
While most of these companies provide the same kind of functionality, Ditto's large and growing customer base in the tens of thousands (including the likes of the US Air Force, Lufthansa and Japan Airlines) indicates that its product is a strong competitor in this space. It has also attracted the attention of investors, most recently closing a hefty Series A round. It intends to use this funding to almost double its headcount and to focus on commercializing its product.
