Idempotentcy of application state data

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for synchronizing application state information across devices. More specifically, embodiments of the disclosure are related to facilitating idempotency of application state information. Idempotency is maintained by using a timestamp embedded within application state information and/or by determining that the application state information is associated with an accumulating value.

1. A system, comprising:
a client device registered to a user account within an application synchronization service, the client device configured to execute an application, the application configured to cause the client device to at least:
generate application state information associated with the application, the application state information including an event being associated with an accumulating value;populate a data structure within the application state information specifying a contribution to the accumulating value stored on the client device, the contribution to the accumulating value stored on the client device being associated with the client device; andtransmit the application state information to the application synchronization service.
