Does it still work against directly CouchDB? Had some fun times with the mobile/CouchDB sync.
When Sync Gateway came along things got complicated (to me). Mostly because of another component to deploy, monitor etc. Did you consider bundling Sync Gateway into a Couchbase server, even if only for dev/staging environments?
- jchrisa 11y agoWorks great with Apache CouchDB, PouchDB, Cloudant, etc. The mobile libraries and Sync Gateway all use the CouchDB sync protocol. We built Sync Gateway because the Apache CouchDB access control model wasn't fine grained enough for most apps, so it adds a data routing function to control sync access. (See link downthread). Thanks for the feedback about simplicity. Our next release makes the Sync Gateway default config a lot more beginner friendly and even today we ship with a dev mode that uses a tiny embedded database instead of a Couchbase Server cluster for storage.
