SELECT
a.name,
COUNT(r.airline) AS numberOfRoutes
FROM 'travel-sample'. inventory.route AS r
JOIN 'travel-sample'. inventory.route AS a ON KEYS r.airlineid
WHERE a.country = "United States"
GROUP BY a.name
ORDER BY numberOfRoutes DESC;
Versatility without complexity
Couchbase does the work of multiple databases, including key-value, JSON, SQL, hyperscale vectors, text and geo- search, graph, time series, eventing, agent creation, and real-time analytics. This simplifies your data architecture without sacrificing features for your AI-powered agentic applications.

// full text search
const result = await cluster.searchQuery("travel-fts-index",
couchbase.SearchQuery.match('Eiffel Tower'), { limit: 10 }
);
// SQL++
const sqlQuery = 'SELECT name FROM `travel` WHERE country = "France"';
const sqlResult = await cluster.query(sqlQuery);
AI services for agentic applications
Capella takes the stress out of building AI agents with new services for secure model hosting, vectorization, preparing unstructured data, natural language query, and reusing agents from a catalog. These services complement Capella’s support for large-scale vector storage and search, and make agent creation and validation a reality.
