4. The (not so long) history of mobile
Martin Cooper (1973)

5. Mobile is becoming not only the new
digital hub, but also the bridge to the
physical world. That’s why mobile will
affect more than just your digital
operations — it will transform your
entire business.

Analyst at Forrester Research

10. The Full Stack
Stitch SDK
Packages the entire mobile stack together
Stitches the frontend and backend together
• End-to-end Mobile SDK
• API for local storage
• API for remote Stitch service invocation
• API for syncing between local and remote
• Provides a transparent bridge for applications
iOS SDK: https://github.com/mongodb/stitch-ios-sdk/
Android SDK: https://github.com/mongodb/stitch-android-sdk/
final StitchAppClient client = Stitch.getDefaultAppClient();
final MongoClient mongoClient =
client.getServiceClient(LocalMongoDbService.ClientFactory);
MongoCollection<Document> items =
mongoClient.getDatabase(TodoItem.TODO_LIST_DATABASE).getCollection(TodoItem.TODO_L
IST_COLLECTION);
public void updateChecked(final ObjectId itemId, final boolean isChecked) {
final Document updateDoc = new Document("$set", new
Document(TodoItem.CHECKED_KEY, isChecked));
if (isChecked) {
updateDoc.append("$currentDate", new Document(TodoItem.DONE_DATE_KEY, true));
} else {
updateDoc.append("$unset", new Document(TodoItem.DONE_DATE_KEY, ""));
}
items.updateOne(new Document(TodoItem.ID_KEY, itemId), updateDoc);
...
}
private List<TodoItem> getItems() {
final ArrayList<TodoItem> todoItems = new ArrayList<>();
for (final Document doc : items.find()) {
if (TodoItem.isTodoItem(doc)) {
final TodoItem item = new TodoItem(doc);
todoItems.add(item);
}
}
return todoItems;
}

11. The Full Stack
Mobile Drivers
Existing drivers for the given language
• With a few extensions
• Open a local storage instance
• Close a local storage instance
• Support today for Swift, Java, and C
• Others created based on demand
Can be tested directly
• Swift: https://github.com/mongodb/swift-mongo-mobile/
• Java: http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/mongodb/
mongodb-driver-embedded/
import MongoMobile
…
let client = MongoMobile.create(settings:
MongoClientSettings [ dbPath: "test-path" ])
let coll = try client.db("test").collection("foo")
let insertResult = try coll.insertOne([ "test": 42 ])
let findResult = try coll.find([ "_id":
insertResult!.insertedId ])
let docs = Array(findResult)
…

12. The Full Stack
Mobile Database
Lite version of MongoDB formed into a library
• C ABI
• Auth, Replication, Sharding, etc. removed
• Supports only the mobile storage engine
• Passive: no background threads
• Light: disk, memory, energy
C Interface
• Low level
• Drivers are extended to invoke it
Availability
• Builds out of MongoDB 4.0+ community tree
• Pre-built binary packages for mobile targets
lib = mongo_embedded_v1_lib_init (&params, status);
instance = mongo_embedded_v1_instance_create (lib,
params.yaml_config, status);
client = mongoc_embedded_v1_client_create (instance);
collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client,
"iot_test", "sensor_data");
insert = bson_new ();
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (insert, "message", "Hey there!");
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (insert, "from", "Matt Lord);
mongoc_collection_insert_one (collection, insert, NULL,
NULL, &error);
query = bson_new ();
cursor = mongoc_collection_find_with_opts (collection,
query, NULL, NULL);
while (mongoc_cursor_next(cursor, &doc)) {
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (doc, NULL);
printf ("%sn", str);
bson_free (str);
}

13. The Full Stack
Mobile Storage Engine
Leverages SQLite as a K/V store
• Maintaining full MongoDB Query Language support
• Single SQLite database called “mobile”
• Table names follow the WiredTiger filesystem / dictionary
naming convention
• Every entity you create
• database, collection, index, …
Can be tested with standard MongoDB

15. Mobile Sync

16. Stitch Mobile Sync
Example Setup
Steps for Sync
1. Define Sync + Conflict Handlers on a collection
2. Add Documents to be synced
3. Application manages local documents
4. Stitch then syncs state with the backend automatically
• Bi-directional synchronization
// Initialize your application, then configure Synced
collections Stitch.initializeDefaultAppClient('<your-
app-id>').then(() => {
tripsColl.configureSync(trip_conflict,
trip_change, trip_error);
...
});
// Find all trips that should be synced and ensure
they’re synced
tripsColl.find({user:
stitch.getUserId()}).toArray().then(trips =>{
tripsColl.syncMany(trips)
});
...
tripsColl.sync().update({trip_id:currTripId},{meal_ch
oice: selectedMeal});
...

17. Stitch Mobile Sync
Example Usage
Stitch Syncs data when online on a per operation basis
Uses 3 client-side event responders
• ChangeListener
• ConflictHandler
• ErrorListener
Handlers receive all local/remote changes
// On changes to the remote document the trip_change
handler is called
function trip_change(changeEvent){
...
if(updatedFields.keys().includes(“Gate”)){
setStatusBarUpdate(“Gate Changed”, tripID,
gate);
}
...
}
// On a conflict, the trip_conflict handler is called
function trip_conflict(localDoc, remoteDoc){
newStatus = remoteDoc;
for(key in remoteDoc.keys()){
if(localDoc[key] != remoteDoc[key] &&
isLocalPreferred(key)){
newStatus[key] = localDoc[key]
}
}
// Returning a document from the handler will
attempt to write it
return newStatus;
};
