Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Fairly new employee, Couchbase is currently used in our production applications due to Couchbase lite and it's offline capabilities. We utilize sync-gateway for the write requests and N1Q1 for read requests.

Pros and Cons

I have enjoyed using the built in REST API analytics endpoints to monitor the status of my nodes.

As someone fairly new to Couchbase, not sure I have any ideas for improvements yet.

Return on Investment

For me personally, the REST API analytics endpoints were a huge help when building an internal app to monitor node status as well as bucket info.

Scalability

I have no experience with the scalability.

Performance

I'm a huge fan of the query speed, expecially with N1QL. The documentation does a good job of walking me through each operation, as I am a new developer in the company.

Alternatives Considered

MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas

I really enjoy the N1QL feature that Mongo lacks. Makes retrieving the correct data much faster with less work on my part.

Likelihood to Recommend

As far as I know, Couchbase is great for application that utilize offline features and sync-gateway seems like a great tool. I have noticed that speed is very important to Couchbase, and I appreciate that a lot.

Couchbase is fast.
