As a sponsor of the DevNexus 2023 conference in Atlanta, Couchbase showcased its NoSQL database solutions to the attendees. We had a booth in the hall and a speaking session discussing JSON Data Modeling. Finally, the event was capped off with a prize drawing for two Raspberry Pi computers. At the booth, attendees had the opportunity to learn more about key features of Couchbase, such as its familiar query language SQL++, flexible JSON data model, and the Capella DBaaS. Attendees from a variety of local companies came by the booth to discuss databases. We brought some swag, including bags and ..read more

When talking about native mobile app development, it’s good to first understand the landscape. There are approximately 6.5 billion smartphone users worldwide, and that number is growing. As smartphones become more ubiquitous and, at the same time, more powerful and advanced, the way they are being used has changed. It’s much more than calls and texting; over the past decade, these little devices have become a primary means of working, shopping, socializing and more. Today you can listen to your favorite podcast, get the latest global news, check work email, collaborate with coworkers, attend o ..read more

Couchbase introduced its fully managed Capella Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) offer on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2021, and more recently on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Customers no longer need to worry about day-to-day management and maintenance of their Couchbase clusters. With Capella you can benefit from a faster, easier and more affordable NoSQL database while using SQL to query your data. But how do you take advantage of Couchbase Capella if your data is stored in a legacy relational database? This is where MOLO17, a long standing Couchbase partner, allows customers to smoothly transit ..read more

Transaction support has been recently added to the Couchbase SDKs. Starting in Spring Data Couchbase 5.0.0-M5, support for transactions has been added to Spring Data Couchbase. In this blog, we will describe using the Spring Data @Transactional annotation to leverage Couchbase Transactions. The spring-data-couchbase repository contains a spring-data-testapp which exercises transactions. It relies on the travel-sample bucket on a local Couchbase server. (any bucket with a primary index will suffice). git clone git@github.com:spring-projects/spring-data-examples.git cd spring-data-examples/cou ..read more

Sometimes the best way to learn a new skill, topic or technology is to build something with it. Trying it out for yourself – with some guidance – helps you master the techniques better and faster than just reading through abstract concepts. So if you’re looking to build your first Android mobile app on Java, I encourage you to try out building it with Couchbase Lite. (Dive into the full tutorial here or keep reading for more context.) Let’s start with the importance of edge computing. Embedded Data Processing at the Edge Couchbase Lite is the embeddable version of Couchbase, the world’s most p ..read more

Part 3: Adding sync functionality to a centralized server This multipart blog will help the reader build an end-to-end mobile application using the industry-leading features of Couchbase Lite.  A state of the art, end-to-end, scalable and production grade application should include the following features: An embedded database to store data locally on-device to reduce network trips to a centralized database for every activity. This goes a long way in improving user experience. Perform full text searching on the device. Sync with peer mobile devices and a centralized server. This blog ..read more

In the previous blog post we discussed how Couchbase can seamlessly integrate into an Event-Driven Architecture. Using the Couchbase Eventing Service, document mutations can be published to a Solace PubSub+ queue from where the data is made available to subscribing microservices in near real-time. This post focuses on how microservices as Topic subscribers can leverage Couchbase as a scalable & resilient datastore. Architecture overview & sample application In this sample application, we subscribe to a Solace PubSub+ Topic, process the data, and update the document in Couchbase. In our ..read more

Who said work can’t be fun? At Couchbase, we want every part of working with our database platform to be as easy as possible, including learning and getting started.
