KEY CONSIDERATIONS FORTHESELECTION OFDATABASE 3 2 Synchronization Offline Capability Scalability 1 Flexibility in Development Security Proper synchronization is the key for apps that need real-time data synchronization between devices and the server. Thus the selection of a database with robust synchronization features is vital. CouchDB and Firebase Realtime Database are the two best examples of databases that are excellent in this regard, thereby making sure that the React Native app stays updated across various platforms without any kind of interruptions. One of the features of React Native that sets it apart is its ability to support offline functionality. Selecting a database that permits local data storage happens to be crucial for applications that need to function offline. In this regard, choices such as SQLite and Realm are considered to be popular as a result of their efficient local storage capabilities. Scalability is a matter of immense importance at the time of selecting the database. As the mobile app grows, the volume of data also grows which the app needs to take care of. Therefore, it is always recommended to opt for databases that offer scalability, thereby enabling the mobile app to appropriately deal with increased loads without any kind of compromise in its performance. Security is certainly the top priority for any mobile application. Hence, the choice of database should necessarily align with industry standards and best practices. In this regard, professional React Native app development services always look for databases that offer robust security features and encryption options. 5 4 React Native app development services often prefer databases that appropriately align with the flexibility of the framework. In this regard, it is ideal to select a database that supports JavaScript and provides a smooth integration process, which in turn readily enhances the development experience. MongoDB is an extremely popular choice as the database in the React Native community because of its flexible schema and compatibility with JavaScript. www.kretoss.com
