Couchbase has enhanced its Couchbase Mobile platform to enable AI-powered applications to run seamlessly on devices at the disconnected edge.
JavaScript support for Couchbase Lite allows the embedded database to run in any web browser, making offline-first, browser-based web apps possible with unified data synchronisation across web, mobile, custom hardware, and desktop environments.
The innovation eliminates dependency on internet connectivity to improve speed, availability and security for edge applications.
Also introduced is enhanced peer-to-peer synchronisation with device auto-discovery and network auto-switching capabilities to enable uninterrupted offline collaboration and dynamic network adaptability.
Additional resilience features such as cross data centre replication support and multi-cluster failover deliver unprecedented uptime guarantees for global, distributed applications.
The lightweight Couchbase Edge Server, designed for resource-constrained environments such as airplanes and retail stores, complements these capabilities by supporting operations in internet dead zones.
These advancements address critical challenges faced by mobile AI applications, such as integration complexity and downtime risks caused by reliance on cloud-only or fragmented mobile data solutions.
By unifying data synchronisation from cloud to edge to device and web, Couchbase Mobile simplifies development workflows, reduces total cost of ownership, and accelerates time to market for resilient edge AI applications.
“The latest enhancements to Couchbase Mobile help developers build and ship applications faster, and ensure architects provide continuous uptime no matter what,” said Matt McDonough, Senior Vice President of Product at Couchbase.
