Cloud Meets Edge: Embedding Data Processing & Synchronization in Mobile Apps

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Inventory demo shows a Kotlin mobile app using a local JSON database (Couchbase Lite) with push/pull replication to a cloud Couchbase cluster via an up-endpoint service; replication runs continuously or on demand, transfers deltas only to save bandwidth, and enforces ACLs by channels so teams see only their warehouses. Offline edits persist and later sync; conflicts resolve by timestamp wins conflict resolution by default. The live demo uses two emulators to prove sync, offline edits, and delayed/conditional replication.
