What is replication in couchbase mobile?

[vidya jejurkar]

I am trying to add couch-base in my Android application for offline storage. Data gets added into database but i am confused how to send data on server when server is down?
we are using AWS server so Is offline storage can be completed using only couch-base lite or Sync gateway also needed?
Please need help

Hi Vidya,

Couchbase Lite is a standalone embedded database. You can use Couchbase Lite as a local database in your Android app. To Get Started with Couchbase Lite (CBL) on Android you can follow the code here to persist a simple document to the database http://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/mobile/1.3/installation/android/index.html#getting-started

Then, if you wish to sync data to the server-side (to share data between users perhaps) you can use Sync Gateway + Couchbase Server. To synchronize data with your Sync Gateway instance running on AWS you can follow the Replications guide http://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/mobile/1.3/develop/guides/couchbase-lite/native-api/replication/index.html

You need Couchbase Server + Sync Gateway. It’s possible to sync with CouchDB or Cloudant (but you don’t get some features like channels or optimized replication.) But no, you can’t use an arbitrary database as a back-end.
