Technological advances have made building applications that help drive business easier than ever before. App development no longer lies solely in the hands of engineering teams but can be supplemented by citizen developers and business users. And as more of these platforms become cloud-native, business app design, development, and deployment all occur in the cloud. With applications shifting to the cloud, it only makes sense that back-end data would also migrate to the cloud. While many low- to no-code solutions offer bespoke connectivity for relational databases, many do not offer connectivity to powerful, NoSQL solutions like Couchbase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Low-code\/no-code app development using Couchbase Capella and\u00a0 CData Connect Cloud<\/b><\/h2>\n

Couchbase Capella takes all the benefits of Couchbase’s NoSQL storage solution and makes it cloud-native \u2013 accessible from anywhere. When paired with CData Connect Cloud, you get instant, cloud-to-cloud access to Couchbase Capella data from cloud-based low-code platforms, like Microsoft Power Apps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft Power Apps is a service for building and using custom business apps that connect to your data and work across the web and mobile \u2013 without the time and expense of custom software development. When you join Couchbase Capella with Power Apps through CData Connect Cloud, you build cloud-based, low-code business apps on top of cloud-based NoSQL data.<\/span><\/p>\n

This article discusses connecting to Couchbase Capella in CData Connect Cloud and building a simple app in Power Apps based on the Couchbase data.<\/span><\/p>\n
