Couchbase for mobile app


I have an app using endpoint that are running in docker containers, that again serves data from cassandra.

I have created Facebook authentication on the backend and would like to have more like Google etc.

Question: Does Couchbase have authentication for Facebook and otheres? I am thinking, that if so, I could remove all docker containers for endpoints and authentication, and just use Couchbase as backend for mobile apps.


Solution

  • Couchbase Mobile does support authentication for Facebook and other identity providers.

    From Couchbase Mobile - Guides - Authentication

    • OpenID Connect Authentication: use OpenID Connect providers (Google+, Paypal, etc.) to authenticate users.
    • Static providers: Sync Gateway currently supports authentication endpoints for Facebook, Google+ and OpenID Connect providers
