Cloud database for mobile apps
Use Couchbase Capella, our hosted Database-as-a-Service, or install and manage Couchbase Server on your own public or private cloud.

Edge-ready database
Deploy Couchbase Server at the edge to support thousands or more edge clients. For resource-constrained edge environments with a few hundred local clients, you can deploy Edge Server.

Embedded mobile database
Couchbase Lite is the embeddable version of Couchbase for mobile and IoT apps that stores data locally on the device.

  • Discover peers automatically over IP networks for iOS/Android
  • Configure small mesh topologies automatically
  • Switch networks automatically to ensure uninterrupted sync (coming late ĘĽ25)
  • Connect over Bluetooth (coming late ĘĽ25)

Includes database server for resource-constrained environments

  • Couchbase Edge Server can run on extremely resource-constrained hardware at the edge, such as small form-factor single board computers
  • Edge Server addresses the challenge of limited compute capacity inherent in many edge deployments, which are often constrained by factors like space, power, and logistics
