PouchDB looks like the client side library.
Do you still need CouchDB on the backend?
I see from the mailing list it is still a very active project, which surprised me.
- bumblebee4 7y agoPouchDB is CouchDB-Protocol implemented in javascript so you can run it wherever there is javascript, not just as a client. If you want to have a backend, you can use any DB that supports that protocol (there are several), which includes using a PouchDB instance run by node.js.
- lhuser123 7y agoIs PouchDB + CouchDB considered an alternative to Firebase?
- bumblebee4 7y agoThat depends on your use case since Firebase is more than a database. Since CouchDB is from 2005 and Firebase is from 2011, it is in comparison a very mature product and protocol worth trying.
- dsun180 7y agoIf you want to have PouchDB without being tied to the CouchDB-backend, check out RxDB. It supports replication via GraphQL. https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb
