Couchbase is a software company situated in Mountain View, California, USA, that lets the developers build enterprise applications (web, mobile & IoT) on NoSQL using N1QL. [2]. Couchbase distributes data across a set of commodity servers or virtual machines and stores data in Key Value format or in JSON object format which can be indexed and queried. It develops and provides commercial packages and support for Couchbase Server and Couchbase Lite both of which are open-source, NoSQL, multi-model, document-oriented database.

Couchbase, Inc. was created through the merger of Membase Inc. and CouchOne Inc. in 2011. It aims for easy scalability, high performance, high reliability and ease of development. It modified memcached technology to provide built-in caching and also revised Apache CouchDB technology to enable the document capabilities. A set of built in and monitoring tools support the continuous up-time of the couchbase cluster

Technology

NoSQL

NoSQL provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data which is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. With Big Data on the rise, NoSql helps in managing huge amounts of both semi-structured and unstructured data. it provides query languages other than SQL as well.

N1QL

N1QL is a declarative query language that extends SQL for JSON. One can query data via native framework and language integration, a fluent API, or the JDBC/ODBC drivers. It enables to query JSON documents without any limitations - sort, filter, transform, group, and combine data with a single query which can combine data from multiple documents with a JOIN.

Products

  • Couchbase Server - It was developed in August 2010, as a Cross Platform, Multi-Model Database / Distributed Key-Value / Document Oriented Database. It is a NoSQL document database with a distributed architecture for performance, scalability, and availability. It provides on-the-wire client protocol compatibility with memcached, but is designed to add disk persistence, data replication, live cluster reconfiguration, re-balancing and multi-tenancy with data partitioning.
  • Couchbase Mobile - It was developed in June 2014, as a Document Oriented Database. It is the NoSQL database for building fast, powerful and secure mobile and web apps. With a fully-integrated embedded database, real-time synchronization, enterprise-level security, and highly scalable database server it helps in creating applications. Couchbase Lite is a lightweight embedded NoSQL JSON document database that lives locally on mobile & IOT devices, but is part of the Couchbase Mobile product which also includes Sync Gateway and Couchbase Server
