A remote distributed data store may be configured to process data updates received through invocation of a common API with reference to a common schema. A local data store may also be configured to process updates through the common API with reference to the common schema. Updates to the local data store may be mapped from the local data store schema to the common schema, and applied to the distributed data store. Updates to the distributed data store may be mapped from the common schema to the local data store schema. User identity may be verified to limit data synchronization to authorized users.
