What is the cost of implementing and hosting couchbase lite / mobile

Question

I am just starting to develop Xamarin, and I am discovering the wonders of using Couchbase Light / Mobile to control local synchronization of data and data. I watched a very good video from Xamarin Evolve 2014, in which people from Couchbase presented some great examples of using Couchbase in Xamarin mobile apps. My question is: given that there are 3 components — the Light / Mobile library, Gateway, and Server — for starting my development and then for deployment in production: are all these components commercial, is there open source? If only commercial components exist, what is the price?

Answer 1

Couchbase and Couchbase Mobile Open Source licensed under Apache 2.0 , with github open source development .

There are two binary releases: Community Edition and Enterprise Edition, each of which has different terms in its license agreements, and, as indicated, Enterprise Edition is a subscription that gives the subscriber access to Couchbase, Inc. for help, improvements, and escalation paths when you need to decide something right away.
