The modern web becomes more distributed: both front-end and back-end turns out to be the complicated part of the bipolar web-application. And communication between them is going to be a new challenge.

The classic AJAX problems: - the unstable network makes AJAX based UI works annoying - does not work offline - there is no way to merge conflits, last processed update is accepted as the last truth - UI becomes pessimistic with a huge amount of loaders and other request-time lockers - the increasing complexity of the JavaScript code for processing AJAX requests - AJAX work only in one way and does not allow live updates

#Logux is the new way of synchronization between client and server, which provides many features for modern web out of the box: Live Updates, Optimistic UI, Offline-first.

What does Logux bring to level up client-server communication? - uses event-sourcing and CRDT concepts to work automatic resolving conflicts - communicates over web-socket in both directions to support Live Updates - synchronizes event log between clients automatically - support the protocol upgrade - is fully integrated with the current front-end ecosystem (Redux)

I will talk about how basic Logux concepts and how all of the work together to support the modern web features.
