Lab: Mesh-Native Storage Schema — Design Distributed Data

Master distributed data modeling by designing schemas for mesh-native applications with tiered privacy and custom sync policies.

advanced 3 hoursFree

What you'll build

Vertical stack context: DOSFIUniversity (research) → DOSFI Academy (this course) → MeshNativeExchange (publishing & monetizing). Students progress from Learning → Building → Publishing → Monetizing. In this lab, you will architect storage schemas optimized for distributed environments. You will move beyond traditional CRUD models to implement mesh-native data structures that respect node sovereignty, define field-level privacy annotations for Distributed Intelligence Units (DIUs), and craft conflict resolution strategies for eventually consistent state propagation.

Skills you'll practice

  • Differentiate between local-first, mesh-replicated, and sovereign storage paradigms.
  • Design a multi-tier JSON schema for a mesh-native notes application.
  • Implement privacy tier annotations for Distributed Intelligence Units (DIUs).
  • Define granular sync policies for state distribution.
  • Develop deterministic conflict resolution strategies for distributed state convergence.

Before you start

  • Understanding of distributed systems architecture
  • Proficiency in JSON Schema specification
  • Basic knowledge of CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type) concepts
