Hod @ Couchbase here. Depending on what you mean, I have to disagree. Are you talking about Vanadium Core, or Vanadium and Syncbase? From what I'm reading, Couchbase does significantly more than Syncbase. It supports many of the se

Couchbase Lite does all this, and is a mature, shipping product with many real-world deployments (including peer-to-peer as a primary use). It's a JSON document database, with full map/reduce indexing/query capabilities. It

An alternative to look at is the Couchbase Mobile stack. The stack in includes the Couchbase Lite database (NoSQL), Sync Gateway, which enables syncing and more, and Couchbase Server. All open source. It's pretty easy to run all you
