Use case

SQL Server → Couchbase, offline-first IoT

THE CHALLENGE

MS SQL Server apps had to reach IoT hardware inside every vending machine — including offline.

AutoCrib’s MS SQL Server-based applications, used by thousands of customers worldwide, needed to connect with IoT hardware embedded in vending machines for inventory management with offline capabilities.

  • Transaction-proof inventory Data had to be transaction-proof for inventory accuracy.
  • Thousands of schemas A single Gluesync instance needed to manage 2,000+ schemas.
  • Offline-first cache IoT clients on customer premises needed a transaction-proof offline cache.
  • ERP to the edge Replicate vending software data out to devices without breaking core systems.

The solution

Couchbase plus Gluesync for bi-directional IoT sync.

With Couchbase and MOLO17 Gluesync, AutoCrib found a solution that replicates from MS SQL Server to IoT devices across the fleet.

Saved vs building in-house

Gluesync saved us one year or more of developing our own integration between Couchbase and Microsoft SQL Server. The MOLO17 engineering team worked hand in hand with our development team to tailor the solution to fit our needs.
