Neon Postgres anchors local-first design

- An engineer described choosing a local‑first architecture for instant offline performance, syncing durable state to Neon Postgres for coordination and persistence. - They accepted roughly three‑times greater development effort to gain deterministic low‑latency behavior while delegating durability to Neon sync. - The pattern separates hot‑path determinism from cloud durability, illustrating a hybrid approach for latency‑sensitive systems.
