# Couchbase Lite on Hybrid Platforms

Couchbase Lite is an embedded, NoSQL JSON document database for your mobile apps.

You can use Couchbase Lite as a standalone embedded database within your mobile apps, or with Sync Gateway and Couchbase Server to provide a complete cloud-to-edge synchronized solution.

> [!NOTE]
> Ionic and Flutter integrations are community-maintained. Couchbase does not officially support them. See [Support model](https://docs.couchbase.com/cloud/third-party/integrations.html#support-model) for more information on community support.
