Hi Jens, Thanks for your reply.
(A final thought:t it would be a Simple Matter Of Programming™ for someone > to build a CouchDB-compatible replicator on top of Couchbase Lite 2.0. Just > pull the replicator code out of any platform of 1.x, change the API calls > to fit 2.0, and superglue it on. OK, it wouldn’t be simple, but not rocket > science either.) And is it possible I could pay you to write that compatibility layer? I don't have a problem with moving forward. I just need a path that I can follow that lets me take my thousands of customers with me. Will there be a cloud service my customers can subscribe to that provides compatibility with the 2.0 protocol? They would need to migrate their data from IBM Cloudant to whatever service that is. Will Couchbase Sync Gateway have a proper web UI that lets customers setup and configure it? Although Apache CouchDB isn't super user friendly, I've managed to write some documentation and it has a web UI that allows some of my more advance customers to be able to setup their own sync servers. But the vast majority of my customers are using IBM Cloudant or peer-to-peer syncing. But in my opinion IBM Cloudant is much easier for people because there's no requirement that the devices you're syncing with have to all be online at the same time. In an older version of my app, before switching to Couchbase, I was using raw SQL with FMDB and I integrated it with the Dropbox Sync API. Spent a bunch of time building that out. The day I released the update to support Dropbox, I got an email from them telling me they're cancelling support for the Dropbox Sync API. In fact, their Sync API servers are shutting down this June. So I spent about a year migrating my code over to Couchbase Lite because from your website you had a great sync story and you were actively working on this. It's been great being able to sync automatically between devices. You guys are far smarter than I am and have built a great syncable database. But now I'm finding myself in the same situation as I was with Dropbox. If there's any way to have a compatibility layer at least to provide some sort of transition that would be great. I only need it for iOS and Mac. So if I can hire you to build that for me that would be great. Well, as long as it doesn't break my bank account :) Thanks, Brendan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
