Couchbase Capella vs. Google Cloud Spanner

Couchbase is a great NoSQL database and most businesses will benefit from this software. For those launching and developing applications, Couchbase is a solution. In addition, those businesses that requires a NoSQL data base will as well benefit. In a nutshell, Couchbase has something for every business depending on the version you choose.

Google Cloud Spanner is suited for limitless horizontal scaling while maintaining strong consistency which needs to support ACID. NoSQL databases work in scaling but no ACID support. RDBMS support ACID, but horizontal scaling is not as great. The API it provides result in some limitations to related areas of the code, such as connection pools or database linking framework. So high # of connection pools can vary.

Couchbase handles multiple data sources efficiently and is also good at handling high data volumes. It is scalable as well which is a plus

Incentivized

Couchbase offers more flexibility, it is more secure and most importantly, it is scalable and therefore affordable.

At that point, we were looking at something [that] can hold our relational database, [...] provide stable connection, and maintain high ACID transition. BigTable is for nonrelational database so it was out of our [sight] very quickly. BigQuery is a data warehouse that can hold huge amount of data but not ideal for transition. AWS RDS is [...] similar to Spanner but because most of our services are already on GCP, so we went with Spanner.

Incentivized

• This is a NoSQL Database
• Couchbase is very secure
• Couchbase is very fast when processing queries

Incentivized

• Backups specifically if transactional data is deleted. Restoring made us lose time.
• Sharding on Horizontal level was quick and easy. Deployment and increasing nodes is easy
• Large dataset handling.
• ACID compliance
