Built as an original multipurpose distributed NoSQL database, Couchbase Server delivers unparalleled performance at any scale, run on premises or in the cloud. It fuses the strengths of relational databases such as SQL and ACID transactions with JSON’s versatility, with a foundation that is extremely fast and scalable. Developers get the benefits of flexible JSON documents and object models, with SQL and key-value access, and hybrid vector and text search all built in – to build features faster. Our AI-powered coding assistant will help you get started, even querying your data with natural language. For architects and application owners, our sophisticated in-memory, active-active architecture delivers low latency around the globe – for high speed, no downtime, and happy users.
The first reason customers choose Couchbase is performance. Our high-speed database server has memory-first design and caching architecture.
Couchbase does more work for your money due to its scalable, tunable workload design that optimizes resources as your application grows.
Couchbase powers real-time GenAI apps with versatile data access, vector search, and seamless RAG workflows without complexity.
Use natural language to generate powerful SQL++ queries, including joins and distributed ACID transactions.
Couchbase is a distributed, transactional, multipurpose database for AI-powered applications. It does the work of multiple purpose-built databases, including vector and time-series. It caches data for speed, supports SQL for JSON, and scales linearly. It replicates and synchronizes to mobile apps, and helps simplify data architectures without sacrificing application features.
Query using natural language or build powerful SQL++ for querying, transacting, and manipulating JSON data.
Build better user experiences with smarter, GenAI applications. Add powerful similarity search and natural language conversations to your apps with three flexible vector indexing options to fit any use case.
When transactional guarantees are required, Couchbase holds the patent for distributed ACID transactions for JSON.
Couchbase eventing enables user-defined functions in JavaScript or Python to fire in real time when data changes happen.
It’s no longer impossible to perform analytics on active application data. You just need a SQL++ analytics engine with workload isolation.
Ensure database availability with global XDCR, scaling across clouds and on-prem. Sync data from cloud to edge data center to device.
Every application scales differently, and so does Couchbase. It is the only database platform that can isolate and scale database services within a cluster independently.
Compliance and security are fundamental requirements. Protect your data on the wire and in the cloud. Secure your organization with built-in auditing, role-based access control, and encrypted communications.
Deliver consistent, fast experiences at scale, powered by caching and our memory-first, active-active architecture. High-performance indexes underpin exceptional data access performance even with complex joins, predicates, and aggregations. And, with efficient, high-density key-value storage that holds terabytes per node, Couchbase significantly reduces the complexity of your clusters and the costs of your deployment.
Support rapidly changing application requirements with the flexibility of JSON. It can support multiple data access patterns at once, including programmatic key-value, SQL++ query, time-series arrays, vector arrays, graph relationships, metadata, analytics, and text or geographic search. This enables robust functionality within the application without creating unnecessary complexity in the data architecture.
SQL++ is SQL for JSON that supports joins, ACID transactions, user-defined functions, and more. Our iQ co-pilot helps you write SQL on Day 1. Couchbase also supports dynamic schema constructs that map to RDBMS, including buckets, scopes, collections, and documents.
Deploy Couchbase Server in any cloud, at any scale. To reduce operational overhead, you can self-manage your deployment, use Kubernetes automation, or choose the fully managed Couchbase Capella™ DBaaS.
“We said, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have a data store where we could go from the Java object to the database and back without lots of overhead?’ Well, this is it.”
“Couchbase is a highly scalable, distributed data store that plays a critical role in LinkedIn’s caching systems.”
“What we value a lot is that Couchbase was able to embrace with us our vision to the cloud, and the fact that we wanted to operate data stores directly on PaaS.”
“With Couchbase working with us building these resilient large solutions, it puts us in a good place to really achieve our goal of a perfect customer experience.”
