Couchbase Lite
Couchbase Lite is an embedded JSON-document database with vector search and peer-to-peer sync for mobile and IoT apps.
You can use Couchbase Lite as a standalone embedded database within your apps, or use it with Capella App Services to provide a complete cloud-to-edge data sync solution.
Power GenAI applications from cloud to edge with vector search, now available in Couchbase Lite
What makes Couchbase Lite different?
Couchbase Lite is a developer-friendly embedded NoSQL database for offline-first apps that run on mobile, desktop, and custom devices. Unlike similar solutions, it supports SQL, vector search, and provides built-in data sync peer-to-peer and cloud-to-edge.
Build fast, secure, and reliable edge AI apps
Low latency
Eliminate latency by embedding data processing directly into your apps.
Reliability
Stores data locally to reduce dependency on the internet.
Edge AI-ready
Vector search on-device enables semantic search and RAG with no internet dependencies.
Flexibility
Supports all major mobile platforms and custom embedded devices.
Couchbase Lite key capabilities
Develop AI-powered apps that work all the time by embedding the database directly in the device. Provide a lightning-fast experience while eliminating dependencies on an unreliable internet. Take advantage of a rich feature set and wide platform and language support.
SQL
Working with familiar SQL, developers can reduce complexity by reusing queries across platforms and the cloud.
Vector search
Built-in vector search makes it easy to add semantic search features to power Gen AI edge apps.
Peer-to-peer sync
Synchronize data directly between Couchbase Lite devices using peer-to-peer sync with or without the internet.
On-device failover
Back up data directly on the device to enable on-device failover and disaster recovery.
Offline-first
Embedding Couchbase Lite ensures that data is always available regardless of network connections. Data is stored locally and automatically synced with the cloud and peer devices when connectivity is available.
Developer-friendly
Develop GenAI apps for any device and platform faster with SQL and simple-to-use APIs for database CRUD, vector search, full-text search and query operations.
Edge AI-ready
Couchbase Lite supports vector search on-device and plugs right into your AI ecosystem, call local or remote ML and LLM models.
Multiplatform
Support for mobile platforms includes iOS, Android, and Windows. You can develop desktop and web server apps with .NET and Java libraries. C-API support allows developers to build applications in C that run on nearly any platform and any language.
