Just want to note Couchbase is not just for mobile. Couchbase Server is an enterprise-class document-oriented (like Mongo) db with a dynamic query language that's a superset of SQL…

Part of the point is you don't need so many joins.

Not sure of others, but not true with Couchbase. You have queries just as flexible as with SQL.

Curious how this compares to Couchbase + N1QL, since that gets you a document db that also supports full SQL.

This was a bit of humor delivered for entertainment at the closing of an Android conference (360AnDev, which I highly recommend). The speakers are two of the most well known in the…

That analysis is from 4 years ago and is wrong in many, many ways at this point. As for "the general consensus", I'd like to see evidence that's true among real enterprise users. (…

The native/hybrid/web discussion has been going on a long time. The general consensus I've found is that web/hybrid is fine for some things, like magazine style apps, and untenable…

Couchbase (not CouchDB) gives you a whole bunch of things. You get the embedded document database, sync/replication, conflict management, auth, scale, data routing, querying, and m…

With Couchbase Mobile, we shy away from the "realtime" claim, because it's vague. (Ask a high-frequency trader how they define realtime...) Having said that, we have customers that…

Couchbase Mobile is open source. Couchbase only provides the data platform, but is significantly more sophisticated at it than Firebase. Firebase offers many other services, so you…

Thanks for the kudos. The team works very hard to make the offline first capabilities best in class. I'm not sure who at Couchbase is "strongly" recommending against the Community …

I think I can give one concrete example where a NoSQL choice (often) makes sense. Common modern day scenario in mobile is to build an app and iterate. Migration in RDBMS rapidly be…

Biased opinion, but Couchbase is like CouchDB on crack. So, by extension... (Disclaimer: I work for Couchbase.)

If you're looking for offline-first, Couchbase Mobile natively supports a range of platforms. CouchDB + PouchDB gives you a JavaScript option. (Currently you can use PouchDB with C…

I don't think of Realm as being at all like Firebase, except from a very high level. Realm isn't hosted, it's an object database, until recently didn't do sync, and more.

Have you looked at Couchbase? NoSQL on-device db, cross-platform for Android, iOS, native Java, and others. (I work for Couchbase.)

NoSQL databases arose in response to the growth and change in data use, driven largely by the web. Typical needs cited include scalability, availability, performance, and flexibili…

Have to agree with pmalynin, there are other dbs that do this. Couchbase Mobile has changes feed as well. How you are defining/measuring "well-implemented". Not sure why there is n…

Not understanding the idea here. PouchDB isn't a BaaS. RxDB is a wrapper for PouchDB, correct? PouchDB is a great project, so not criticizing, just not sure what criteria you're us…

Another option to check out is Couchbase Mobile. Open source, self-hosted database with full offline functionality and a solid sync solution. I think Firebase is pretty amazing. Ha…

Apteligent, for one. Long time player with a strong offering for crash reporting and much more. (I'm not associated, just a fan.)

I don't actually think it is easier to get adoption. The major mobile platforms have SQLite built-in (under the hood in the case of Core Data). I think that's actually a strong bar…

NoSQL's only selling point is you don't need to learn SQL? Hardly true. Major Oracle shops aren't dumping them for Mongo/Couchbase/... because they're trying to avoid SQL. They do …

Hod @ Couchbase. Looks like an excellent tutorial. I understand you have limited time, and this is providing a great resource to the community. I'd ask, if you have the chance, to …

Hod @ Couchbase. Couchbase Mobile has had sync for a long time. It's used in serious, large scale deployments. (Check out the video from Ryan Air if you want to see a really cool e…
