As shown on the graphs above, Capella\u2019s throughput was approximately 10x higher than Atlas for each node configuration, culminating with a throughput of 523,020 ops\/sec on an 18-node cluster and latency of 0.8 milliseconds for Capella and 7.8 for Atlas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Capella features industry-leading performance with a built-in object-level cache, SQL++ query language, ACID transactions, and the ability to scale resources such as CPU and RAM depending on the workload. The Capella query engine supports aggregation, filtering, and JOIN operations without needing to model data for each query. In contrast, Atlas does not support JOIN operations on sharded collections out of the box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<em>As in previous benchmarks, Capella demonstrated better performance than Atlas due to its active-active, all-worker nodes architecture<\/em>,\u201d said Ivan Shyrma, data engineer at Altoros. \u201c<em>Capella is also easier to query due to its SQL support. These factors translate to a better price-to-performance ratio in real-world environments<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Capella can efficiently process the same workloads with fewer nodes which reduces costs. Based on the benchmark results, Atlas users need to run 18-node clusters to match the performance of 6-node Capella clusters. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The monthly cost of a 6-node Capella cluster is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">$5,284 while the cost for an 18-node Atlas cluster is $28,050. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That works out to a savings of ~ 81%. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A higher ROI is the practical benefit of doing more with Couchbase Capella on 6 nodes than MongoDB Atlas on 18 nodes.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next Steps<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.couchbase.com\/capella\/altoros-report-eval-nosql-dbaas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">View the final <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">report.<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn more about<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/products\/capella\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Couchbase Capella<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sign up for a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.couchbase.com\/?href=Playground\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">free 30-day trial<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> if you haven&#8217;t already.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.couchbase.com\/sign-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Connect your trial cluster to the Couchbase Playground<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or connect a project to test it out for yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re already using Couchbase Capella, you can interact with your cluster by using the interactive Couchbase shell or via the Capella Control plane to:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check out the document viewer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Connect to a project<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take a look at the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.couchbase.com\/learn\/capella\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Capella Learning Path<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Resources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/developers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Couchbase Developer Portal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has tons of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.couchbase.com\/tutorials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tutorials\/quickstart guides<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.couchbase.com\/learn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">learning paths<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to help you get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.couchbase.com\/home\/sdk.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">See the documentation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to learn more about the Couchbase SDKs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">____________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you for reading this article.
