Couchbase

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited to hold our player data and give us ease of access to it. Most of our multiplayer features in our titles leverage querying couchbase for the relevant player data. The resiliency of couchbase also gives us peace of mind with having a up to date replica and backups. I am not entirely sure were couchbase would not be appropriate in my experience

Pros

Key/value data store. Couchbase is blazing fast at data access and retrieval when you know what keys you want to access.
Data querying with N1QL. If you have your indexes set up right, searching your unstructured data can be really fast too.
Management dashboard. The Couchbase platform has a great admin panel that provides tons of insights into how your cluster is performing.

Cons

Should allow servers to change their roles on the fly - currently you will need to take down the server and re-assign roles
SDK documentation is not as helpful and should have more examples
No pre-compiled procedures - unlike in SQL Server, Couchbase does not have pre-compiled stored procedures therefore we have to run various test to optimize our application

Performance

Couchbase 8.0

Based on 58 answers

Couchbase's performance has been excellent in our experience. In one particular case, the use of Couchbase instead of RDBMS improved page load speeds by an order of magnitude. The fact that adding more nodes scales both the read and write performance automatically and transparently has been particularly advantageous for our OLTP use cases.

Alternatives Considered

We looked at several different SQL and NoSQL systems. Most were either too expensive, didn't provide the needed functionality, or were too hard to use with the size of our team. We ultimately went with Couchbase because of its performance, horizontal scalability, and price.

Scalability

Couchbase 8.4

Based on 53 answers

The system is multidimensional scalable. We can enable a specific service (DATA, INDEX, QUERY, ...) on specific nodes inside a cluster.The only limit, for now, is the Map/Reduce view service that is combined with the DATA service. It is then not possible to scale it independently from DATA nodes.
