Replication latency

Mobile
1

Hi all,

I’m developing an app with CouchBase Lite using C# and a sync gateway.

When replicating documents via the Sync Gateway, I’ve got latencies of more than 10 seconds for a document with less than 1KB.

In the sync gateway I’ve to databases configured, one using walrus and the other using couch base server and latencies are very similar.

Is there a way to reduce that time?

Thanks, regards.

That’s unexpected — latency should be under 1s, assuming a functioning network connection and the server isn’t heavily loaded.

Can you use logging or packet-sniffing to identify where in the chain the delays are happening?

Hi,

Network connectivity is fine. When I configure an in-memory database in the sync gateway, response time is about 3-4 seconds, but when I replicate with a database that is in a couchbase server, latency grows to more than 10 seconds. Do I need to configure something on the CouchBase server?

The Couchbase usage is very simple, listen to a live query for items matching a condition. I suppose the view is created on the local database of the couchbase lite client. If I create the same view on the couchbase server, will the overall performance improvement?

This is my sync function in the gateway:
function(doc, oldDoc) {
if (doc.group) {
channel(doc.group)
} else if (oldDoc.group) {
channel(oldDoc.group)
}
}

Thanks. Regards!

Hi all,

Could anyone explain to me what the Sync gateway or couchbase server are doing in the following lines:

Sync gateway and Couchbase Server 4.1.1 are running in the same Azure machine. Thanks in advance.
