Couchbase vs MariaDB Platform

• High performance, fast secure flexible with smart architecture and it’s faster other than competitors in the market.
• We can control all data security, cluster configs, and managing operations costs.
• Proficiency to secure and isolate database information in a secure environment to prevent undefined access.
• Ability to specify IP address ranges, routing tables, network gateways, and subnets according to your private IT department protocols.

• Simpler learning curve. MariaDB is a cleaner, simpler system that is (IMO) easier to learn and easier to manage effectively than many other database systems.
• Lower hardware requirements. After migrating to MariaDB from another database software system, we find that our hardware needs have substantially decreased.
• MariaDB support is very responsive. It's like they actually care. On the few occasions we've run into technical issues, support has always come through with what we needed. Once it was showing me a relatively new feature the server supported that I wasn't aware of, that, once I was able to properly make use of it helped me resolve a serious production performance issue.
• Architectural flexibility. As an example, the ready availability of synchronous (Galera) versus asynchronous replication schemes without being locked into one of the other by enormous technical complexity or punitive licensing, allows the customer to find what really works best for their needs.

• Community edition has various limitations, like [the] inability to view/edit documents over a certain threshold or inability to use various types of [optimized] indexes.
• The indexes performance degrades when a certain number of mutations is reached.
• The views creation can be quite slow and impacts the deployment speed for large buckets.

• Driver Support - Some third party applications use database drivers that cause unexplained slowness with MariaDB. This can be worked around by using the MySQL drivers, but it's not clear what causes the problem in the first place.
• Support - While online communities are helpful in diagnosing problems, there isn't as much professional documentation/support available for MariaDB as some of the other major database options.
• Data Visualization - It would be helpful if there were more built in options for analyzing statistics and generating reports.

• N1QL's SQL-like syntax has made bringing new developers up to speed both easy and inexpensive.
• The schema-less approach to data store has increased agility.
• Operating at scale, Couchbase tends to be less expensive than major RDBMS solutions, especially once you implement high availability in RDBMS.

• Easy to set up and maintain.
• Massive user base which makes it relatively easier to find answers if there's something wrong.
• Open source and free to use, meaning we don't have to think twice to use it in production in terms of costs.
