WHY COUCHBASE
Embedded storage, real-time sync, and scalability
Build IoT applications that operate reliably anytime, even without the internet, using our database. With on-device data storage and seamless cloud-to-edge sync, you can ensure consistency and accuracy. A managed cloud backend simplifies deployment for faster and easier scaling.
Embedded database
Improve app speeds and increase uptime by using an embedded database to eliminate dependency on the internet.
Cloud-to-edge sync
Eliminate data loss and maintain consistency and accuracy by syncing easily between edge devices and the cloud.
Vector search
Deliver highly relevant and accurate search results using AI with the industry’s only on-device vector database.
Real-time analytics
Analyze high-velocity IoT data and operational data in real-time with columnar analytics in the cloud.
IoT
Top IoT Application Use Cases
Avoid costly downtime by developing reliable IoT applications that work anywhere, with or without the internet. Easy connectivity and a fully managed backend enable quick deployment of IoT device fleets.
Manufacturing
Develop and deploy smart manufacturing applications that power device management, smart assembly lines, remote asset tracking, and more.
Retail
Use IoT devices to deliver smart shelves, dynamic inventories, and just-walk-out shopping. Personalize offers in real time and collect customer data.
Healthcare
Power Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) apps that include wearables, sensors, and mobile devices for data collection, activity logging, and health recommendations.
Media & entertainment
Create great user experiences by supporting millions of endpoints and devices for streaming content, collecting data, managing user profiles, and maintaining states.
