Overall Satisfaction with Couchbase

We use Couchbase for two main purposes. First is the NoSQL database to store unstructured data. The n1ql language is very powerful to retrieve these data in every possible way. The second purpose is key/value storage used in caches. We use Couchbase to store serialized java objects representing cached data.
  • N1QL requests
  • Key/value storage
  • Performance
  • Indexes need some time to understand
  • Documentation could be improved somtimes
  • Effective distributed cache to preserve low latency services
  • Indexes are very important and not easy to learn
Couchbase was mainly selected because it provided professional support, which was mandatory. I did not participate in the technical decisions.

Couchbase Reliability

All performance issues we encountered were design issues. Couchbase was not responsible. Couchbase provides all necessary tools to improve performance and resilience, but it is not accessible to every developer. Some features like replication or the defensive need to be handled by the experts.
