An alternative platform for migrating Lotus Notes database applications that require a standalone feature

We have about ~ 20 Lotus Notes database applications that offer users offline capabilities. Users can work with the application offline (not connected to the network). When they return to the network, data is synchronized automatically.

I am looking for an alternative technology platform to achieve such autonomous capabilities.

Here are the main features / features of the applications:

  • Database-oriented applications with moderately complex data entry formats.
  • An easy way to bind a document to database records.
  • Ability to disable the application and automatic synchronization when establishing a connection.
  • Protected data offline.

My first thought is to use CouchDB as source code, although admittedly I have no experience using it. However, I know that it was created by former Iris employee Damien Katz, and he was inspired by many of the strengths of Lotus Notes when he designed it. One of its strengths is replication - it is used for use in a distributed architecture.

He will also feel familiar because it is a document-oriented database such as Notes, not RDBMS. However, I cannot speak with the interfaces available for use with CouchDB.

This material works best with MS development tools — we used C # and winforms — although you could, if you really wanted to, use Java or Delphi as well.
