Very intrigued. Any guidance on integration with a rails app?

I dig old computers and used bookstores. 

Hmm depends. Any data you load into app or other services is fair game. Especially if you load larger amounts of data or really need the data to be fresh as sync guerentees that updates arrive in seconds.

Anywhere you query for data you should consider syncing data instead.

CDN-backed syncing means your data loads faster you get real-time updates for free.

It's like having mini PG read replicas scattered across your system.
