Quick tip: run your Cloudant data everywhere with CouchDb

09-05-2018 no responses flinden68 cloudant development hrassistant

I moved our HR Assistant application to a Spring boot to run everywhere, but the data was still stored in a Cloudant database running on IBM Cloud. No problem, but not that flexible.

So I was looking for a way to to store the data somewhere with minimum impact.

Step 1: Get CouchDb running

I found Apache CouchDb and I followed the instructions from this github repository to setup a local version in Docker

By starting the docker container I was able to access the familiar web UI via http://localhost:5984/_utils/

Step 2: Replication

To get all my data from the Cloudant database I created a new Replication and keep the Replication Type on ‘One Time’

CouchDb replication

Step 3: change the properties

Next I need to point the HR Assistant application to my local CouchDb database. For CouchDb account can be empty

HRAssistant-ApplicationProperties

Step 4: check the application

After I started the application and logged in I see the same as I was seeing when my data was loaded from Cloudant.

HRAssistant-CouchDb

 

So with no code changes I am able to run the HR Assistant application everywhere, with the data on a location where I want, in the cloud via Cloudant or local with CouchDb
