Techniques for backend-specific cursor tracking are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a local database synchronization component operative to initiate a client update at a messaging client on a client device, the client update associated with a specific backend service for a messaging system; retrieve an opaque backend-specific update cursor for the specific backend service; and store an updated opaque backend-specific update cursor for the messaging client; and a local network component operative to send the opaque backend-specific update cursor to the messaging system in association with a client update request; and receive an update package at the messaging client on the client device, the update package comprising the updated opaque backend-specific update cursor.
