CouchDB and the CouchOne Mobile Platform Podcast

A conversation with CouchOne’s Aaron Miller^[1] and Nitin Borwankar^[2] about the CouchDB application environment and CouchOne efforts to port it to Android and more generally to mobile platforms. The mp3 ☞ hosted by IBM developerWorks website can be downloaded from ☞ here (mp3).

CouchDB: A Great Option for Mobile Computing

Even if Krishnan Subramanian’s title is CouchDB and SaaS, he got the part about CouchDB and mobile development right:

CouchDB is also an HTTP server. This lets browsers talk directly to CouchDB. This makes mobile app development easy with CouchDB

One can easily replicate the whole database, application logic and the data to the mobile device. It will just work out of the box without any extra coding. Just a few javascript tweaks and CSS tweaks will make it work on the mobile device offering the same user experience

CouchDB can run on multiple devices and can sync with each other and the cloud whenever there is an internet connection. This offline use and syncing is one of the unique features of CouchDB. CouchDB uses a built in conflict management system and it easily helps solve any conflict that may occur in collaborative SaaS applications

The file format of CouchDB is a tail-end format. All changes are added to the end of the database file, thereby, ensuring that database is never in an inconsistent state. For example, if a mobile app gets killed for any reason, you are safe

Memory footprint is very low. In a very active state, the database consumes only 7 MB of RAM and less during other times. This makes CouchDB very suitable for mobile devices which usually carry lower memory

Geospatial Index – very useful in the case of location aware apps

As covered in the past, I can confirm the mobile is an important aspect of CouchDB adoption strategy.

According to Jamie Turner (@jamwt) Bump Technologies, producers of the mobile app bump that enables data exchanges through bumping phones together, is using Redis in production:

@antirez Who is using Redis? Bump Technologies is using redis in production ( http://bu.mp )

If anyone has details, I’d love to hear more about this Redis case study.

CouchDB for Android. iPhone Next?

CouchDB got quite some press with the announcement of CouchOne Mobile^[1]. In the light of the changes in Apple policy^[2], I am wondering if the iDevices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) are next.

Anyway, I think there are additional ingredients to be added to the mix to make CouchOne Mobile see some traction:

becoming rock solid. It is in direct competition with tools like SQLite which are rock solid
there will be tons of applications that would require synchronization with remote servers. Remember, CouchDB strongest point is replication.
there will be some good and cheap CouchDB hosting providers. When you sell $1.99 apps, you’ll not pay tons of dollars for hosting.

Update: while this comment from ☞ Damien Katz about CounchDB coming to iOS is pre Apple policy change, it is a good sign that ~~Couchio~~ CouchOne is trying to get it working as soon as possible:

Aaron Miller and I got Erlang booting up on iOS. CouchDB coming to an Apple device near you.

Update: Six month later iOS Mobile Couchbase is here.

Just perform a Google search after ☞ couchone mobile and pick one of the results (they are all the same) to read the announcement. (↩)
John Gruber has a nice coverage of the changes ☞ here (↩)

NoSQL start-up CouchIO is targeting mobile and clouds after just a year of trying to monetize the company’s CouchDB document store.

[…]

Rather than to replace SQLite, Katz believes that CouchDB has a future by being used in addition to SQLite — primarily on document-centric apps such as email, calendaring, scheduling, contacts, CRM, time sheets, and inventory. “That’s where Couch really shines,” Katz said.

Back to origins?^[1]

Before creating CouchDB, Damien Katz has been working on Lotus Notes. (↩)
