We've built a sync-enabled database, and even at 500 kb it's getting a lot of uptake in IoT applications.

Open source databases: http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile

Info about how GE is using it: http://www.couchbase.com/nosql-resources/presentations/offli...

Long story short: when you get the network stuff figured out, it's gonna be an interesting product.

Feel free to contact me (info in profile) if you want to chat about how this can fit into the industry.

When you say IoT applications, do you mean phone apps which are dealing with data which originated from a "thing" in the IoT, but that the data has already gotten to the phone or cloud through some other, non-Couchbase Mobile channel?

Or is it possible to run or communicate/sync with Couchbase Mobile directly from a "thing" itself?

Couchbase Mobile has an optional on device rest API we use for p2p sync. You can also use it to push data from edge devices to a handset or base station, but typically phones will ping devices.
