Vue already syncs your refs to the DOM. Sync engines extend that same idea to databases — keeping client state and server state in harmony. Here's how Replicache, Zero, Convex, PowerSync, LiveStore, Jazz, and Dexie each approach this differently.

The fastest JavaScript reactive system achieves its performance through linked-list subscriptions, JIT-friendly monomorphic functions, iterative DFS propagation, and aggressive dependency-list reuse—not clever algorithms but relentless micro-optimization.

Performance problems compound over time, so optimization work should follow a strict priority order: eliminate waterfalls first, reduce bundle size second, then progressively address server-side, client-side, and re-render issues.
