Couchbase, Inc. announced that Couchbase CapellaTM now fully manages and hosts a backend for mobile and IoT applications called Capella App Services. The enhanced offering makes it easier for developers to design and deploy fast and resilient mobile applications that seamlessly sync data between the cloud and devices, enabling applications to work regardless of whether they are online or offline. Now as a fully managed service, development teams can save time, effort and resources by streamlining setup configuration, synchronization and ongoing backend services management.

Without built-in, robust bi-directional synchronization, developers have to design and build this complex capability themselves to prevent mobile applications from suffering from downtime, incorrect or lost data, delayed operations unpredictable costs and frustrated end users. Reliability is a core attribute of today's modern applications and must be powered by a database that can support backend app services and synchronization to maintain data integrity and consistency. This produces applications that can be depended on for business-critical use cases and require high availability, security, and speed.

Integrating mobile capabilities into Capella means that customers get the best of Couchbase as-a-service: Easy to build for developers: Capella is a one-stop shop for developers, who can leverage SQL, APIs, and extensive platform SDKs to build fast and resilient mobile apps. These apps can include user-generated content like photos and videos, sync from the cloud to edge and deliver offline-first data access, peer-to-peer sync and automatic conflict resolution. Easy to manage for architects: Deploy and manage users, authentication and both the DBaaS and mobile sync services through a single easy-to-use interface.

App Services connect to edge and mobile devices, facilitate security, high availability, and data synchronization which makes it easier for architects to manage their application backend. Easy to own for executives: Capella App Services includes comprehensive security, world-class scale and predictable costs, delivering engaging business-to-employee and business-to-consumer applications such as gaming, field employee support and customer experience.
