What is Couchbase Server?
Couchbase Server is a NoSQL database, which has become the de facto standard for building Systems of Engagement. It is designed with a distributed architecture for performance, scalability, and availability. It enables developers to build applications easier and faster by leveraging the power of SQL with the flexibility of JSON.
Features
●Develop with Agility
●Operate at Any Scale
●Easier, faster development
Iterate faster by leveraging a flexible data model and a powerful query language to write less code, avoid database changes.
●Elastic scalability
Scale easily, efficiently and reliably, from a few nodes to many, one data center to multiple, all with "push button" simplicity.
●Flexible data modeling
Add features by extending the data model to nest or reference data, or by adding new indexes and queries on the same data.
●Always-on availability
Maintain 24x365 uptime by enabling replication and automatic failover, and performing maintenance operations online.
●Powerful querying & indexing
Perform complex queries, with or without joins, and benefit from a built-in query editor and schema browser – no code required.
●Multi-data center deployment
Operate in multiple geographies to improve performance and availability by enabling cross datacenter replication (XDCR).
●SQL integration & migration
Migrate relational data and queries as is, continue to leverage enterprise BI and reporting tools with full support for SQL.
●Simple & powerful administration
Deploy, manage, and monitor deployments with an integrated admin UI and automated tasks optimized for large deployments.
●Big data integration
Integrate with Spark, Kafka, and Hadoop to enrich, distribute, and analyze operational data streams in real time.
●Enterprise-grade security
Deploy in secure environments by enabling built-in auditing, role-based access control, and encrypted communications.
●Mobile / IoT extensions
Simplify mobile development by leveraging a cross-platform, embedded database with automatic synchronization to the cloud.
●Transition with Ease
The most innovative enterprises are introducing NoSQL to replace or augment legacy databases, including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. With Couchbase Server, they get the best of both worlds – the powerful querying and enterprise features of a relational database, combined with the scalability, performance, and flexibility of a NoSQL database.
