Move data between the cloud and edge with Couchbase Mobile 2.0

Couchbase, Inc. has announced the latest advancement in mobile data management with Couchbase Mobile 2.0. The latest release offers enterprise developers SQL queries, Full-Text Search, synchronization, and end-to-end security among other features to easily mobilize business applications to create better customer experiences and a more effective workforce. Companies across a range of industries, including Becton Dickinson (BD), Tommy Hilfiger, and Ryanair rely on Couchbase Mobile to extend their Couchbase deployments seamlessly to the edge, powering a consistent user experience across all touchpoints.

“Mobile first” and “offline first” strategies within the enterprise continue to grow in importance. With the enterprise mobile application market expected to reach $6.7 billion by 2022, according to IDC, it is clear that mobile technology continues to revolutionize the way today’s businesses operate, and customers, employees and partners are increasingly engaging with businesses through applications.

Couchbase Mobile extends the Couchbase Data Platform to the edge, securely managing and syncing data from any cloud to all edge devices. Using Couchbase Mobile, organizations can build offline-first mobile applications with guaranteed data availability, irrespective of network connectivity or speed. Built-in enterprise-grade security from the cloud to the edge helps safeguard data while a consistent programming model for building web and mobile apps simplifies development. And with the flexibility to add capacity at every tier, enterprises can easily scale up and down as demand fluctuates.

The platform includes:

• Couchbase Server, a distributed NoSQL database for managing data in any cloud
  
  
• Couchbase Lite, an embedded NoSQL database for managing data locally on the device
  
  
• Sync Gateway, a secure web gateway that orchestrates data synchronization between Couchbase Lite and Couchbase Server

“With Couchbase Mobile 2.0, we are bringing some very exciting new capabilities to the edge that parallels what we have on Couchbase Server. For the first time, SQL queries and Full-Text Search are available on a NoSQL database running on the edge. Additionally, we’ve made programming much easier through thread and type safe database APIs, as well as automatic conflict resolution," said Ravi Mayuram, Senior Vice President of Engineering and CTO, Couchbase.
