MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – November 12, 2013 – Couchbase, a leader in NoSQL database technology and the company behind the Couchbase open source project, today announced the expansion of its breakthrough mobile strategy, JSON Anywhere, to China. Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold will make the announcement at the annual Mobile Developer Conference, the largest mobile developer conference in China, to be held in Beijing on November 13 – 14, 2013.

Data stored in Couchbase Lite on a mobile device is seamlessly synchronized with the Couchbase Server in the cloud, enabling the simple development of a new class of occasionally connected, data intensive mobile applications.

At the developer conference, Wiederhold will announce that in expanding the mobile strategy to China, Couchbase Lite, Couchbase Sync Gateway and Couchbase Cloud will now be available for developers in the region.

It is estimated that the Mobile Developer Conference in China will have more than 10,000 developers in attendance. Couchbase presentations during the conference will include:

• Bob Wiederhold, Couchbase CEO: “Mobile NoSQL Databases Synced to the Cloud are the Future of Mobile App Development” on Nov. 13 from 15:00 to 15:30 (CST)
• Larry Liu, Couchbase Senior Engineer: “Couchbase Lite Technical Overview” on Nov. 14 from 15:10 to 16:00 (CST)

Beta Community Edition releases of Couchbase Lite and Couchbase Sync Gateway are available for immediate download. Couchbase Cloud is available for immediate use.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – September 13, 2013  – Couchbase, a leader in NoSQL database technology and the company behind the Couchbase open source project, today announced its JSON Anywhere mobile partner program with Appcelerator, Apperian, Adobe PhoneGap, Sencha and Xamarin joining as the initial partners.

The next wave is clearly mobile, where Couchbase is leading the charge in the shift away from relational. In adopting the technology, we believe that there is the potential to have Couchbase Lite on a billion devices.”

Supporting Partner Quotes

Appcelerator: Jonathan Rende, VP Products

• “Titanium is the mobile application development platform of choice for almost half a million developers. The integration between Couchbase Lite and Titanium will allow them to quickly mobilize data from any Couchbase database to deliver a great application and mobile experience.”

PhoneGap: Brian LeRoux, Principal Product Manager

• “PhoneGap is a project that relies on a massive community of hundreds of thousands of developers. PhoneGap allows users to easily create apps using the web technologies developers know and love – HTML, CSS and JavaScript.  We see JSON and sync as core components to the future of mobile data, and the Couchbase Lite plugin for PhoneGap will allow our developers to deliver next generation applications where data sync is becoming the norm.”

Xamarin: Nat Friedman, CEO and Co-Founder

• “Xamarin is the new standard for native mobile app development, with over 400,000 developers building fully native iOS, Android and Windows apps in C#, and sharing up to 90% source code across device platforms. We see the integration between Couchbase and Xamarin solving major problems for enterprises that need fast ways to mobilize data and keep it in sync across devices.”

Sencha: Abraham Elias, Chief Technical Officer

• “Sencha equips our community of over 2 million developers with frameworks, tools, and services to help them build rich, cross-platform web and hybrid application experiences using HTML5 and JavaScript. We believe Couchbase Lite will provide this broad base of Sencha developers a straightforward integration path for JSON data synchronization through a NoSQL option.”

Apperian: Alan Murray, Senior Vice President of Products

• “Apperian is about helping organizations go mobile by providing the most efficient, secure and scalable way to manage and distribute mobile apps to their employees. Today, mobile app developers often spend more time on the back-end and building out databases than they do on building an app itself. We believe that Couchbase is delivering the mobile database and core sync functionality that is critical to many of the mobile applications in the enterprise we manage and distribute today.”
