Overall Satisfaction with Couchbase

Used as a persistent cache, as well as for very quick storage and retrieval of large JSON docs. We are also storing some BLOBs (Binary Large Objects). This makes us able to react to changing requirements faster than if we were using a traditional relational database. We also use the ability to swap out the default serialiser in certain scenarios.
  • Fast retrieval of JSON data.
  • Resilience.
  • Great analytics.
  • Max number of bucket limitations.
  • Auth mechanism.
  • Cloud SaaS instance.
  • Better resilience.
  • Faster performance.
  • Less time spent on support.
We have had our Couchbase cluster running for over 5 years, and it has given us very few headaches. It has mostly just sat there and keep chugging away.

We have had to add storage and additional resources as our needs have changed, but the cluster itself has performed very well for us.
Good for very fast retrieval of JSON data. Not so good for typical relational work loads. Very good for aggregations - like counts, sums, etc. across millions or billions of rows.
