Managed backend data sync for mission-critical mobile apps that never go down.
What makes Capella App Services different?
App Services is the enterprise-class backend managed cloud database and sync layer for Couchbase Mobile – an end-to-end data platform that keeps mission-critical apps fully functional and always synchronized, regardless of network conditions, from cloud to edge to device.
Build mission-critical mobile apps that never go down
Always on
Apps work offline and sync automatically when connectivity returns. No outages, no lost transactions, no lost revenue.
Real-time sync
Bi-directional cloud-to-edge sync with delta updates and automatic conflict resolution. No custom replication to build or maintain.
Enterprise secure
Secure data with field-level encryption, granular access control, and auto-purge. HIPAA-ready for highly regulated environments.
AI-ready at the edge
Enable on-device AI, semantic search, and RAG using SQL++. Securely power smart apps from cloud to edge without internet roundtrips.
Sync without building sync
A complete mobile data platform – embedded database (Couchbase Lite), managed sync (App Services), SQL++ queries, full-text search, and on-device vector search – in a single SDK across Swift, Kotlin, .NET, React Native, C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. Skip months of building and maintaining a custom sync layer. Build offline-first apps that always work, with cloud-to-device and peer-to-peer replication handled by the platform.
Architect for any topology
Star, hierarchical, mobile peer-to-peer, chained edge servers, or hybrid – design the architecture your use case demands from a single platform. Capella App Services in the cloud, Couchbase Server or Edge Server at the edge, and Couchbase Lite on the device. Each tier operates autonomously when disconnected and reconciles automatically when connectivity returns. One vendor, one data model, end to end.
Mission-critical at any scale
PepsiCo, PG&E, Shop.com, Princess Cruises, Emirates, and more rely on Couchbase Mobile for guaranteed speed and business uptime for their most critical applications. Couchbase Mobile provides an end-to-end, enterprise-grade mobile data platform with proven scale and time-tested resilience.
