Overall Satisfaction with Couchbase
We are using Couchbase for web application development. Our main focus is public safety and disaster management. We have web and mobile platform presence. We had to solve the syncing issue between mobile and web and Couchbase sync gateway was a great help in this scenario. Also, creating custom document id was another big help for filtering data. Using SDK we perform micro data manipulation processes which is faster comparatively.
- Synchronization between web and mobile platform using sync gateway
- Custom document id to reduce data filter
- SDK to update specified document or document fragments
- Documentation was quite hard for me to understand at the beginning. I think that needs to be improved for newbies.
- Updating multiple document keys were possible before v6.5, but now not anymore. For me that was a great help. I think that needs to be back.
- We did not have to use any other solution for synchronisations
- We did not have to use different db/service for elastic search
- Recommended cluster configuration is expensive for small companies or start-ups
- MongoDB and PostgreSQL
The project we are developing with Couchbase, was very inconsistent for few years of the beginning. We had to change data model multiple times. We knew this before starting the project. So we had to choose a NoSQL solution. We also wanted a syncing solution. After some research we found Couchbase which have all of these together.
