Capella App Services provides a fully managed cloud backend for applications, while the increasing popularity of Edge Computing emphasizes processing data closer to its source for benefits like low latency and adherence to data privacy regulations. The blog post explores a hybrid deployment combining Capella’s cloud capabilities with self-managed, on-premise edge deployments through the Inter-Sync Gateway Replication protocol, which ensures data synchronization between cloud and edge clusters. This hybrid topology supports various use cases, such as internet disruption resilience, data governance, and phased migration to Capella, while leveraging emerging cloud provider edge services. A walkthrough details setting up a hybrid environment with Capella App Services and Couchbase Mobile, emphasizing the role of active and passive clusters in data replication, and the significance of configuring Sync Gateway for seamless data syncing. Monitoring and validating data sync between Capella and self-managed clusters is also discussed, highlighting the bidirectional replication capabilities and the conditions for data synchronization based on document properties and user access.
