PouchDB

Apache® PouchDB is the open-source, in-browser JavaScript database that lets you save data locally, so you can keep going regardless of network coverage.

It’s the sibling technology of CouchDB, and pairs with it to save data locally and then sync when your device re-establishes internet connectivity.

Use Cases

• Healthcare workers in a place with patchy Internet:: PouchDB gives high-fidelity access to your patients’ data well keeping it secure.
• Field technicians repairing critical infrastructure:: PouchDB keeps track of work orders and collects all field info, including photos.
• First responders working in a disaster area: PouchDB coordinates relief efforts on the ground without getting in the way.

Key Advantages

• Open, proven, well-specified replication: Build with flexibility and confidence thanks to PouchDB and CouchDB’s refined, battle-hardened and publicly spec’d replication protocol.
• Doesn’t lose data on conflicts: Enjoy full control over conflict resolution logic unlike last-write-wins, PouchDB won’t lose any writes and is more flexible than CRDTs.
• Bring your own architecture: Build upon flexible date topology. Use PouchDB for P2P, client-server and multi-primary scenarios or as a local cache.
