Summary

Couchbase Lite, the first native NoSQL database designed for mobile, currently supports iOS and Android platforms, with plans to explore compatibility with Windows Mobile, Mac OS, and Linux in the future. Its initial release includes security features like on-device data security, authentication services, and SSL for data transmission, while maintaining a compact size of approximately 500KB. The system imposes a 20MB size limit on JSON documents and attachments, with recommendations for efficient data routing and document management. Couchbase Lite is integrating with mobile development platforms such as Xamarin, Appcelerator, and PhoneGap, and the company encourages feedback from its beta users through forums and a mailing list.
