About Couchbase Server

Couchbase Server is a NoSQL cloud database management system, which helps small to large businesses across manufacturing, retail, IT, energy, hospitality, finance or telecommunication sectors prepare, store, manipulate, aggregate and retrieve data.

Couchbase Server comes with a query workbench, which allows developers to edit queries through multi-line formatting, syntax coloring and auto-completion of N1QL keywords, view document structures and display query results in JSON, table and tree formats. It lets supervisors inspect active, completed and prepared queries including details such as nodes, duration, request ID and more. Administrators can utilize built-in auditing, role-based access control, certification and encryption functionalities to protect data.

It provides integration with third-party platforms Kubernetes and RedHat OpenShift, automating the configuration, scaling and recovery of Couchbase data clusters. The solution is available for free and on subscriptions and support is provided via documentation, forums, phone and online measures.

Flexible NoSQL DB Cloud Base Solution

Couchbase Server is a fully managed NoSQL database as a Sevice, From 2020 onwards, everything went online, and the use of the Internet and e-culture became ubiquitous, increasing the need for secure and fast databases for agile cloud processing for developers and service providers. Last year, a lot of work was forced to move remotely, and the option of delivering goods by mail was added to some services, so analyzing and delivering information and fast access and processing data securely with different access levels was much more important than before. So we used CouchBase Cloud to overcome this challenge, both for ourselves and our client projects. Now Everything is Agile via CouchBase!

Pros:

There are a lot of great features I like: in-VPC Deployment is great for direct installation of Cluster Database to customers VPS, also with just a few simple clicks during configuration, Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS cloud storage space can be connected to this platform. At any time, the required services and support can be purchased separately in an independent plan. The transfer of databases to the desired clusters is very clean and smooth. There are different settings for the user access level, which in terms of security can and safety can put users in different categories and even allow access to certain IPs, as well as the ability to create different security certificates.

Cons:

Cluster management is a little complicated, development team can also work on the Admin dashboard to make it easier and more simple.

Reasons for choosing Couchbase Server

High performance, fast secure flexible with smart architecture and it’s faster other than competitors in the market

Reasons for switching to Couchbase Server

Good cache storing database

overall it is good but not the best for cache storing although it has high availability and high performance, it is slightly costly and I won't be able to write complex queries easily in Couchbase.

Pros:

I can say it is not the best but good for server for storing data in a cache because it has good scalability, it is easy to use it support data models that are flexible so I can store both structured and unstructured form of data and at last, it has high availability.

Cons:

It is not free and it requires a significant amount of investment for large projects and deployments it has limited integration and limited query language support so it is not easy to handle data that requires complex queries.

Powerful but demands a lot from IT department

This is a distributed, NoSQL, JSON document database. Its architecture and parameterization are so complex that the promise of high availability and negligible latencies are more a slogan than a real fact. Supporting a mission-critical system with this product requires lot of work, consultation, and hardware expenditures.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to install. Free trial downloads for many different operating systems. Support of an SQL-compatible query language is a big plus.

Cons:

Resource consumption. Whether in cloud or on-premise installation it is a real memory and CPU hogger - even at idle. Defining a few simple indexes can degrade the performance to a point where the product becomes unusable. Couchbase support and docs are vague in how to get the unmatched performance they advertise.
