Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Couchbase Data Platform is being used across the whole organization as it provides a vital tool to manage the data coming from various projects. Although these projects were in separate silos at one point, now we have the ability to better analyze our data even though it is mostly unstructured.

Pros and Cons

The platform provides the best integration of data delivered via mobile app.
The platform is good at real-time analysis of multiple data streams.
The platform is intuitive for admins to manage with good tools for permission setting.

The administrator functions via mobile are slightly difficult to find.
Data streams must be correctly integrated as opposed to AI-based integration of the streams.

Return on Investment

The platform has made IT admin functions much easier.
The deployment of app changes happens quicker.
New data can be integrated into the mobile app experience quick enough where users don't experience much lag.

Scalability

Easy to scale; we have been able to steadily integrate more and diverse data whenever we want.

Performance

When using multiple data sources and having multiple end users, there is often some friction in the user experience with updating data. This is not the case with Couchbase!

Alternatives Considered

MongoDB, Redis and Amazon DynamoDB

Couchbase does the most for the most sensible cost structure. Also, their support is second-to-none!

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Couchbase Data Platform is well suited for a scenario where server integration is seamless to the mobile experience. It's also very well suited in areas where new data steams need to be constantly integrated.

Couchbase Conquers All!!!
