How To:

• Start Your Own Gun Server
  In order to sync data between two peers, you'll need at least one gun server. This is how.

• Delete Data
  Deleting stuff in distributed systems is harder than you'd think. Read this to see what nuances are at play and some tricks for dealing with them.

• Use Amazon S3 for Storage
  One of our storage plugins syncs directly with Amazon's S3 service, so you can reliably persist your data for mere pennies.
