Wavelength Zones for Edge Computing with Couchbase

For decades, the last mile of Internet infrastructure has been a weak point, but mobile operators are now poised to improve it with reliable, fast connectivity enabled by AWS Wavelength, which allows developers to leverage 5G networks by deploying application infrastructure directly at mobile operator data centers. Couchbase explored this capability at AWS re:Invent 2021, demonstrating how its master-less architecture simplifies edge computing through a demo auction application that compared latencies between the classic us-west-2 AWS region and the Las Vegas Wavelength edge zone. Administering Wavelength instances requires connecting through a mobile operator's network or using a bastion server, and deploying instances involves setting up a carrier gateway, subnet, and routing table within AWS. Couchbase can be deployed using a Kubernetes cluster or directly onto EC2 instances, and Sync Gateway setup is detailed, with options for incorporating TLS encryption or using a reverse proxy like NGINX. Couchbase's comprehensive suite of features, including Couchbase Lite and Sync Gateway, paired with Wavelength's ultra-low latency, offers a robust platform for mobile applications, and Couchbase is enthusiastic about the potential applications that can be developed using this technology.
