Summary

Couchbase Mobile is a comprehensive unified end-to-end mobile database platform that provides an offline-first edge and mobile app development solution. It offers a cloud-native database, an edge-ready database, an embedded database, data sync from the cloud to the edge, and supports vector search in its Capella, Server, and Lite versions. This allows for cloud-to-edge AI capabilities, enabling developers to add AI to their mobile apps without relying on internet connectivity. Couchbase Mobile addresses issues of speed, reliability, and security for apps at the edge by moving data storage and processing closer to the clients that use it and eliminating internet dependencies. It supports various architectures, including offline-first field applications, edge location architecture, and resource-constrained edge architecture, with ideal use cases in industries such as retail, smart cities, healthcare, airlines, stadiums, and logistics warehousing. The platform provides a proven track record of over 10 years of mobile support excellence, making it an attractive alternative to MongoDB's deprecated mobile capabilities.
