We've been using Zero for a while now. Originally we were looking to build a Linear sync engine in-house and came across Zero. Probably the closest thing you can get without staffing a team dedicated on this.
user as well; this is exactly the tool if you want a UX where the UI instantly update itself once database changes within milliseconds.
Can't recommend Zero enough. It's a really thoughtful piece of software with great abstractions. As well as the obvious performance benefits arising from having data synced and available in the client, I've been blown away by how much it simplifies React code. With a sync engine in place, most client-side state seems to evaporate, you get to think synchronously in most component code, etc.
