Couchbase unveils Edge Server

Couchbase, Inc., a developer data platform for critical applications in our AI world, launched Couchbase Edge Server, an offline-first, lightweight database server and sync solution designed to provide low latency data access, consolidation, storage and processing for applications in resource-constrained edge environments.

Edge applications that rely solely on cloud databases can be slowed down due to connectivity challenges, but local databases don’t always offer a solution as they can be difficult to deploy within limited computing environments.

Couchbase Edge Server is built on the Couchbase Lite core engine, an AI-ready embedded database for running critical applications on hundreds of thousands of client devices. The Edge Server is deployed as a standalone server and provides support for a simple access interface for local client access. It delivers offline-first benefits through seamless synchronization – downstream with Couchbase Lite-based edge clients and upstream to Couchbase Capella and self-managed Couchbase instances.

Couchbase Edge Server enables organizations to run edge applications efficiently on as little as one gigabyte of RAM on a single board computer. This can dramatically reduce the cost of edge deployments across many locations, by serving communities of web and mobile clients at each location through a local database backend.

MongoDB acquires Voyage AI

MongoDB, Inc., a database for modern applications, announced it has acquired Voyage AI, a provider of embedding and reranking models for AI applications. Integrating Voyage AI’s technology with MongoDB will enable organizations to easily build trustworthy, AI-powered applications by offering accurate and relevant information retrieval deeply integrated with operational data.

The risk of hallucinations has limited the use of AI applications for mission-critical use cases. These hallucinations typically occur when the AI model lacks sufficient understanding or context of data within an enterprise.

Companies need high-quality retrieval that ensures the most relevant information is extracted from their data with precision. Voyage AI’s advanced embedding and reranking models enable applications to extract meaning from specialized and domain-specific text and unstructured data—ranging from legal and financial documents to images, code, and enterprise knowledge bases. Their models are trusted by Anthropic, LangChain, Harvey, and Replit. Currently, Voyage AI’s embedding models are the highest-rated zero-shot models in the Hugging Face community. Voyage AI’s expertise in embedding models and retrieval architectures will enhance MongoDB’s AI capabilities to solve challenging problems with building and scaling AI applications.

Voyage AI’s embedding and reranking models will remain available through Voyage AI, AWS Marketplace, and Azure Marketplace.
