Couchbase

Couchbase is a distributed NoSQL database system that combines the best features of both document databases and key-value stores. Developed by Couchbase, Inc., it was designed to provide high performance, scalability, and flexibility. Typically used for building modern web, mobile, and IoT applications, Couchbase supports multi-dimensional scaling, ensuring that it can handle a large number of concurrent operations across multiple nodes.

Couchbase was developed by Couchbase, Inc., with its initial release in 2010. The database system provides a robust platform for handling semi-structured and unstructured data through its support for JSON documents. One of the defining features of Couchbase is its ability to scale horizontally by adding more nodes to the cluster, thereby improving both storage capacity and processing power. The system employs a multi-threaded architecture and memory-first design, which allows for sub-millisecond data operations and low latency performance. Couchbase not only supports CRUD operations but also offers advanced capabilities like full-text search, real-time analytics, and geo-distributed deployments. It provides a high degree of operational flexibility with features like automatic failover, cross datacenter replication (XDCR), and role-based access controls, making it a preferred choice for enterprises looking to implement responsive, scalable, and secure data solutions.
