Local Data Storage (Mobile)

Also written as SQLite, On-Device Storage

Storing data directly on a user's device (via tools like SQLite or Apple's Core Data) so an app has data available offline, instead of always needing a live connection to a server.

Think of it like

Like keeping a stocked pantry at home so dinner doesn't depend on the grocery store being open, instead of shopping fresh for every single meal.

Junior or senior?

Junior sounds like

Has stored data locally with no sync story.

Senior sounds like

Has handled a conflict between locally-stored changes and what was on the server when it came back online.

Ask them

“How did your app handle a conflict between locally-stored changes and what was on the server when it came back online?”
