Edge AI and the Role of the Database

Jul 26, 2024 | couchbase.com | Mark Gamble

What is Edge AI? Edge AI refers to leveraging artificial intelligence in applications that run at the edge, such as mobile, IoT, and custom embedded applications like interactive kiosks. The concept combines AI processing with edge computing, a technical architecture that brings computing resources and data storage to the near side of the network, closer to the applications that consume it.
Embracing AI From Cloud to Edge With Google Distributed Cloud and Couchbase

Apr 9, 2024 | couchbase.com | Mark Gamble

Unveiled this week at Google Cloud Next, our longtime trusted partner Google announced the Google Cloud Ready Distributed Cloud program.

Feb 12, 2024 | couchbase.com | Mark Gamble

Every application developer has faced the need for sample data. Whether it’s for functional testing or stress testing at scale, a large volume of meaningful data is required to see how an app actually performs under real world conditions. In most cases using actual production data is out of the question because of the impact on operational workloads, and on data governance and security, so sample data is required.
Enabling AI in IoT Apps with a Cloud-to-Edge Database

Jan 31, 2024 | thenewstack.io | Mark Gamble |Janakiram MSV |Loraine Lawson |Akmal Chaudhri

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving the next wave of tech innovation, and data is its fuel. As such, data processing within your AI implementation is arguably one of the most important parts to get right, especially in the distributed and often-disconnected environments so common to Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The trick is you need a database that can handle the demands of IoT and AI.

Jan 24, 2024 | thenewstack.io | Paul Scanlon |Richard MacManus |Parasar Kodati |Mark Gamble

Before we get going, a disclaimer: I love React but sometimes, I really don’t need it. Many of my recent projects have been built using Astro (which by default ships zero JavaScript to the client — superb for fast, lightweight and performant content websites). But on occasion, I have needed a little bit of client-side JavaScript to enable interactivity. At this point, I’ve found myself struggling to decide between regular Vanilla JavaScript or React.
Navigating Generative AI Data Privacy and Compliance

Jan 23, 2024 | thenewstack.io | Sharon Kisluk |Richard MacManus |Parasar Kodati |Mark Gamble

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), there’s been a surge in efforts to integrate generative AI into Software as a Service (SaaS) product portfolios. However, this wave of innovation brings an exponential increase in risk as these generative AI products ingest sensitive data such as customer information or other personally identifying information (PII).
