SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design and build mobile, edge, and offline-first applications that keep working without a constant network connection and sync data safely when devices reconnect.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Offline-first architecture: Choose when to use Couchbase Lite alone, Couchbase Lite with Sync Gateway, or Capella App Services.
  • Mobile synchronization: Configure push, pull, and bidirectional replication, plus authentication, channel-based access, and collection-aware sync.
  • Conflict and query handling: Use conflict resolution, live queries, document listeners, and on-device vector search for reactive and intelligent mobile experiences.
  • Use Case: Build a field-service app that stores work orders locally, syncs updates to the server when online, and resolves edit conflicts across multiple devices.

Quick Start

Ask for a Couchbase Mobile architecture and replication plan for your app, including the right sync option, access model, and conflict-handling approach.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an offline-first mobile app that syncs data when back online?

Offline-first mobile apps use local persistence like Couchbase Lite to store data on the device, then automatically sync changes to the server via bidirectional replication when the network reconnects.

What is the best way to resolve edit conflicts during mobile sync?

Conflict resolution in mobile sync is handled by configuring rules within Couchbase Lite to manage competing document edits across multiple devices, ensuring reliable data convergence.

Does Couchbase Lite work with React Native and .NET MAUI for local persistence?

Yes, Couchbase Lite supports local persistence and bidirectional replication across iOS, Android, React Native, and .NET MAUI platforms for offline-first applications.

How do I set up channel-based access control in Sync Gateway?

Channel-based access control in Sync Gateway is configured by assigning users to specific channels, filtering document routing during mobile synchronization to restrict data access.

When should I use Capella App Services instead of just Couchbase Lite?

Use Capella App Services instead of Couchbase Lite alone when your offline-first application requires managed backend infrastructure for collection-aware sync and scalable bidirectional replication.

Can I use on-device vector search for offline mobile queries?

Yes, on-device vector search in Couchbase Lite enables intelligent mobile experiences by running live queries and document listeners locally without requiring a network connection.
