NoSQL…
@glynn_bird
Relational Databases• Defined Schema
• Tables/Columns/Rows
• Constraints/Stored Procedures/Triggers
• Indexes/Views
• Structured Query Language (SQL)
@glynn_bird
NoSQL Databases• Any database that isn't a RDBMS!• Types include:• Document stores• Key/Value stores• Graph databases• Often schemaless• Often without SQL

Offline First
Offline-First
@glynn_bird
Offline, online and somewhere in-between

@glynn_bird
The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing1. The network is reliable
2. Latency is zero
3. Bandwidth is infinite
4. The network is secure
5. Topology doesn't change
6. There is one administrator
7. Transport cost is zero
8. The network is homogeneous

Offline-first is the only way
to achieve a true, 100% always-on user
experience.**assuming the device is reliable
@glynn_bird
Benefits of Offline First
16
• Better, faster user experience, both offline and online• Allow your users to work offline or with limited connectivity• Potentially saves battery life and bandwidth usage
@glynn_bird
Offline Patterns & Anti-Patterns• Don't return an error for no reason
• Do let users view cached/saved data
• Do synchronize data when connected
• Consider letting your users decide when to sync
• Think about the UX of users seeing stale data

Introducing CouchDB & IBM Cloudant
@glynn_bird
Apache CouchDB• JSON document store
• HTTP API
• Replication
• Free, open-source
20
@glynn_bird
Apache CouchDB – built to replicate• MVCC for document versioning
• Replication
• One-way or Two-way
• One-shot or continuous
21
@glynn_bird
Apache CouchDB – built to replicate
22
2.0
multi-node clustering
Cloudant Geo
Cloudant Query (Mango)
Cloudant Search (Lucene)
Dashboard
@glynn_bird
IBM Cloudant – built for scale
23
@glynn_bird
IBM Cloudant• Globally distributed data layer for
web and mobile applications• Run as-a-service
• MongoDB-style queries
• Advanced geospatial capabilities
• Full text search indexing
24
@glynn_bird
Mobile Apps - PouchDB
@glynn_bird
PouchDB• A database in your web browser
• Can synchronize with any database that implements the CouchDB Replication Protocol
• Makes create, read, update and delete operations extremely quickly
• Free, open-source
26
@glynn_bird
Getting started with PouchDB
27
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/pouchdb/5.1.0/pouchdb.min.js"></script>
<script type="javascript">
var db = new PouchDB("smart-meter");
</script>
@glynn_bird
Adding documents - callbacks
28
db.post({ date: "2014-11-12T23:27:03.794Z", kilowatt_hours: 14}, function(err, data) { console.log(err,data);});
@glynn_bird
Adding documents - bring your own id
29
var db = new PouchDB("smart-meter");var obj = { _id: "abc123", timestamp: "2014-11-12T23:27:03.794Z", kilowatt_hours: 14};db.put(obj, callback);
https://github.com/bradley-holt/offline-first/blob/master/pouchdb/04-create-document-put.js
@glynn_bird
Getting a document
30
db.get("abc123", callback);
// calls back with // {// _id: "abc123",// _rev: "1-27695d5f483ac267d03ad0e3cb54bd2c",// timestamp: "2014-11-12T23:27:03.794Z",// kilowatt_hours: 14// }
@glynn_bird
Getting multiple documents
31
db.allDocs({include_docs:true}, callback);
// calls back with // {// "offset": 0,// "total_rows": 24,// "rows": [{...},{...}]// }
@glynn_bird
Querying
32
• Primary Index
• MapReduce
• PouchDB-find plugin
• PouchDB-quick search plugin
@glynn_bird
Querying a Database with PouchDB Find• Based on Cloudant Query (Mango)
• MongoDB-style query language
33

db.find({ selector: { name: 'Mario' debut: { '$gt': 1990 } }, fields: ['_id', 'lastname'], sort: ['lastname']})...
@glynn_bird
Replicating a PouchDB Database
34
var db = new PouchDB("smart-meter");var remoteDb = new PouchDB("https://bradley-holt.cloudant.com/smart-meter");db.replicateTo(remoteDb);
https://github.com/bradley-holt/offline-first/blob/master/pouchdb/08-replicate-database.js
@glynn_bird
Bidirectionally Replicating a PouchDB Database
35
db.sync(remoteDb).on("change", function(info) { // Replication has written a new document console.log(info); }).on("complete", function(info) { // Replication has completed or been cancelled console.log(info); });
https://github.com/bradley-holt/offline-first/blob/master/pouchdb/09-replicate-database-bidirectional.js
@glynn_bird
Listening for Database Changes
36
var changes = remoteDb.changes({ since: "now"}).on("change", function(change) { // A document has changed console.log(change);}).on("complete", function(info) { // changes() was canceled console.log(info);});
https://github.com/bradley-holt/offline-first/blob/master/pouchdb/11-database-changes.js
