Skipping Sync Gateway for Direct Connection to Couchbase Server

Couchbase Server
1

for certain use cases, I’m considering skipping the Sync Gateway and directly connecting to Couchbase Server for server-side operations

My Current Setup

Couchbase Server Version: 6.x and sync gateway 2.7.x

My Questions:

  1. Can I skip using Sync Gateway for some of my use cases and connect directly to Couchbase Server using SDKs (e.g., Java, .NET, Node.js) without affecting server-side performance?
  2. What are the recommended best practices for managing Couchbase Server directly without Sync Gateway, especially for applications not requiring mobile sync or offline capabilities?
  3. Are there any potential risks or downsides to consider when bypassing Sync Gateway for direct database access?

I appreciate any insights or recommendations the community can offer, especially if you’ve encountered similar architectural decisions.
