I couldn’t find much information on how to set up syncing between the two so that the data gets replicated with cloud. Trying to create a local-first but cloud sync also solution

Good morning @Tejas_Sharma,

I hope you having a lovely week!

I understand that you are trying to replicate data to Weaviate Cloud Cluster from a Local Cluster, Am I correct?

You can use a migration script in our documentation where you can move collection (s) from local instance to could instance.

Hi Mohamed,

Thanks for getting back.

Actually, I’m not trying to migrate but keep both since the user would want a local-first too in case their internet is not available. I was wondering if there was a recommended way to keep both in sync or on each operation, I would have to modify both instances (and in case of being offline, I guess would have to store the operations for when the internet connects)

Hi @Tejas_Sharma,

What you’re trying to achieve sounds like a fantastic idea and a valuable feature to implement. Currently, there isn’t a straightforward way to establish such synchronous behavior between two instances. However, I believe this could be a very beneficial feature.

I suggest opening a feature request here

> **[Build software better, together](https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate/issues/new/choose)**
>
> GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

When a feature gets enough votes from our users, it draws attention from our engineers, and we can add it to the roadmap.

I mentioned migration as a method to replicate data from a source to a destination, ensuring you have a replicated instance. However, I agree with you that for now, tracking and storing operations locally and then queuing and batching them once online to match the instances might be the best approach.
