Couchbase Mobile for Edge Computing

Maximize business uptime for mission-critical mobile and edge apps. Couchbase Mobile keeps applications fully functional and continuously synchronized from cloud to edge to device – regardless of network conditions.

An end-to-end data platform built for maximum uptime at the edge

Couchbase Mobile is the only data platform that runs at every tier – cloud, edge data center, on-prem, and device – under one unified architecture. Every tier operates autonomously when disconnected and data syncs automatically when connectivity returns. Build mission-critical, AI-ready edge apps with SQL++, vector search, and real-time sync, on the edge data platform trusted by PepsiCo, Carnival Cruises, and PG&E.

Solve your toughest app challenges with edge computing

Zero downtime

Apps stay fully functional when networks fail. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

Real-time data sync

Apps keep working when networks fail. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns. Zero downtime, zero lost transactions.

Works everywhere

Native mobile, cross-platform, embedded devices, web apps, and Edge Server for constrained hardware. Secure from cloud to edge.

Edge AI-ready

On-device vector search powers semantic apps, RAG, and agentic AI locally – no internet roundtrip, full data privacy.

Couchbase Mobile key capabilities

Couchbase Mobile runs apps at the edge that are always fast and never go down. Architect any topology your use case demands – star, hierarchical, peer-to-peer, chained edge servers, or hybrid – from one unified platform. Couchbase stores, processes, and synchronizes data at every tier, from the cloud to the device in the user’s hand.

  • Enterprise-scale cloud database

    Use Couchbase Capella, our hosted Database-as-a-Service, or self-manage Couchbase Server on any cloud.

  • Edge-ready database

    Deploy Couchbase Server at the edge for thousands of clients, or Edge Server for resource-constrained hardware.

  • Embedded database

    Couchbase Lite embeds in your app, storing data on-device for maximum business uptime, no internet required.

  • Comprehensive data sync

    Choose hosted sync with Capella App Services or self-manage Sync Gateway – plus peer-to-peer sync, no internet.

Scalable and always fast

Scale across thousands of edge locations and millions of devices, with the flexibility to add capacity in the cloud or at the edge. Data lives where it’s used – close to the apps and users that need it – so every read and write is local, fast, and resilient to network disruption.

Resilient sync

Couchbase Mobile syncs data bidirectionally from cloud to edge to device, between edge data centers and on-prem, and peer-to-peer between mobile devices over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Conflict resolution is built in and customizable – no fragile timestamp hacks. Choose fully managed Capella App Services or self-host Sync Gateway.

Database server for resource-constrained environments

Couchbase Edge Server runs anywhere on resource-constrained hardware at the edge, such as small single-board computers. It addresses the challenge of limited compute and IT support inherent in many edge deployments, which are often constrained by factors like space, power, and logistics.
