Caching queries in Couchbase for high performance
This blog provides examples of how query results can be cached into Couchbase to be retrieved from the cache instead of being served from index on disk.
MongoDB and Apache Cassandra / DataStax, where art thou?
See how Couchbase Server leverages memory effectively with a integrated, managed object cache unlike Cassandra and MongoDB.
Performance: Managing threads in Couchbase 2.x
In this blog post you will get an overview of two related performance optimizations that you can do for Couchbase 2.5.1 and below. This is not for 3.x for reasons you can read at the bottom of this post. The two changes...
