Overview
In this article, I will create a Doctor Consult Demo App along with the integration of Huawei CloudDB and Remote Config. Which provides an easy interface to consult with doctor. Users can dynamically change the Application configuration using Remote Config.
Cloud DB Service Introduction
Cloud DB is a device-cloud synergy database product that enables seamless data synchronization between the device and cloud and between devices, and supports offline application operations, helping you quickly develop device-cloud and multi-device synergy applications.
Flexible synchronization modes:
Cloud DB supports cache and local data synchronization modes. In cache mode, data on the device is a subset of data on the cloud. If persistent cache is allowed, query results will be automatically cached on the device. In local mode, data is stored locally and is not synchronized to the cloud.
Powerful query capability:
Cloud DB supports various predicate query methods. Multiple chain filtering conditions can be used to filter and sort returned results, and limit the number of objects in the returned result set. In cache mode, data can be queried from the Cloud DB zone on the cloud or that on the local device. In local mode, data is directly queried from the Cloud DB zone on the local device.
Real-time update:
In cache mode of Cloud DB, you can listen on data as needed and use the data synchronization function of Cloud DB to update changed data between the device and cloud in real time.
Offline operations:
In cache mode of Cloud DB, if persistent cache is allowed, the application query is automatically changed from Cloud DB to the local host after the device gets offline. All data modified locally will be automatically synchronized to Cloud DB after the device gets online.
Scalability:
Cloud DB provides powerful HUAWEI CLOUD infrastructure functions, including automatic multi-region data replication, consistency assurance, atomic batch operations, and transaction support.
Security level:
Cloud DB supports device-cloud data full encryption management, triple authentication by app, user, and service, and role-based permission management to ensure data security.

Tips and Tricks
Check whether the CloudDBZoneSnapshot object is released. If the CloudDBZoneSnapshot object is not released, the registered listener cannot receive data change notifications. Each time the CloudDBZoneSnapshot object is used, the release() method must be explicitly called to release related resources.
The Cloud DB zone is not closed before being deleted. Ensure that the Cloud DB zone to be deleted is closed. You can delete a Cloud DB zone only after all Cloud DB zone handles are released. Opening a Cloud DB zone must be followed by a closing operation.
