There isn't really a targeted platform. There just only happens to be one of me at the moment, and so I've only managed to compile it for a few devices.
As you noted, its not really an IoT databases. It could be used as such, but thats not the reason I built it.
I have also been working on the data transfer problem, because without the ability the share the data it is in fact kind of a useless platform in many applications. I have a job manager being developed that will allow for scheduled or ad-hoc execution of functions. I've also written some small library to encode LittleD results for network transmission. Using some basic networking stack, it would be easy to assemble these pieces into something that could be viewed/controlled from a centralized platform. LittleD could even be modified with relative ease to actually query over other LittleD instances!
EDIT: I would actually like to encourage you to divulge some specific criticism for the IoT application. Are you specifically speaking to your automation system, or to IoT at large? It seems difficult to predict exactly how any one person might apply any given technology.
- jchrisa 11y agoWe've built a sync-enabled database, and even at 500 kb it's getting a lot of uptake in IoT applications. Open source databases: http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile Info about how GE is using it: http://www.couchbase.com/nosql-resources/presentations/offline-first-and-how-ge-integrated-couchbase-mobile-in-less-than-90-days.html http://www.couchbase.com/nosql-resources/presentations/offli... Long story short: when you get the network stuff figured out, it's gonna be an interesting product. Feel free to contact me (info in profile) if you want to chat about how this can fit into the industry.
- jack12 11y agoWhen you say IoT applications, do you mean phone apps which are dealing with data which originated from a "thing" in the IoT, but that the data has already gotten to the phone or cloud through some other, non-Couchbase Mobile channel? Or is it possible to run or communicate/sync with Couchbase Mobile directly from a "thing" itself?
- jchrisa 11y agoCouchbase Mobile has an optional on device rest API we use for p2p sync. You can also use it to push data from edge devices to a handset or base station, but typically phones will ping devices.
