Couchbase vs. CouchDB
The names are similar, but there are vital differences in capabilities, performance, and support
CHALLENGES
Apache CouchDB vs. Couchbase
While the name is similar, CouchDB fails to deliver the same functionality and high performance as Couchbase. Customers who switch to Couchbase usually mention CouchDB’s lack of data consistency, speed, and support for development tools.
CHALLENGE #1
Ensure data consistency
CouchDB instances carry different information that must be reconciled, introducing points of failure.
CHALLENGE #2
Query capabilities and speed
CouchDB functions as a pure document store, which limits querying and slows down performance.
CHALLENGE #3
Support for development tools
CouchDB is an open source project with a rigid environment and limited support.
