Techniques for directive-based messaging synchronization are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a local network component operative to receive a directive package at a messaging client on a client device; and a local database synchronization component operative to execute the directive package with a messaging-sync virtual machine to modify a local messaging database of the messaging client; and refresh a user interface component of the messaging client in response to modifying the local messaging database of the messaging client. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for directive-based messaging synchronization

Techniques for a database-driven messaging user interface are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a database access component operative to determine that a local messaging database of a messaging client on a client device has been updated; and examine the local messaging database to determine a set of database queries to rerun for a plurality of local user interface components; and the local user interface components operative to refresh based on running the set of database queries against the local messaging database. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for a database-driven messaging user interface

Techniques for backend-specific cursor tracking are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a local database synchronization component operative to initiate a client update at a messaging client on a client device, the client update associated with a specific backend service for a messaging system; retrieve an opaque backend-specific update cursor for the specific backend service; and store an updated opaque backend-specific update cursor for the messaging client; and a local network component operative to send the opaque backend-specific update cursor to the messaging system in association with a client update request; and receive an update package at the messaging client on the client device, the update package comprising the updated opaque backend-specific update cursor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for backend-specific cursor tracking

Techniques for in-place directive execution are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a local network component operative to receive a directive package at a messaging client on a client device, the directive package formatted according to a serialized directive schema; and store the directive package in a memory of the client device in the serialized directive schema; and a local database synchronization component operative to execute the directive package using in-place access of the directive package in the memory of the client device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for in-place directive execution

Techniques for replication of a client database to remote devices are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a server database management component operative to receive a collection subscription command from a client device at a database synchronization system, the collection subscription command specifying an object collection; and detect a collection change for the object collection; and an update queue management component operative to register the client device for push notification with a collection update queue associated with the object collection; and add a collection update to the collection update queue, the collection update based on the collection change. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
