The benchmark assesses the DBaaS solutions provided by Couchbase and Redis. Using the widely recognized YCSB standard for benchmarking NoSQL databases, this study offers insights into their capabilities. This blog provides a concise overview of the Couchbase Capella and Redis report, highlighting that Couchbase Capella excels over Redis Enterprise Cloud in terms of features, performance, and total cost of ownership (TCO) across various workloads and cluster sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YCSB (Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark) is a standardized framework used for benchmarking the performance of cloud-based database systems. It consists of a variety of workload tests. Here are the workloads chosen for this study:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Workload A<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 50% read and 50% update: This is designed to simulate a write-heavy workload scenario where the database system primarily handles read operations with occasional updates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pagination workload<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This tests how a database system manages paginated data retrieval. By evaluating the system\u2019s efficiency in fetching specific data segments from a larger dataset, it gives insight into common application tasks like showing data in bite-sized portions, such as in leaderboards or pagination for extensive ordered results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Workload E<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 95% read, 5% update: This workload examines the database system\u2019s performance when most operations are reads, with a minor fraction of updates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Workload C<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 100% read: This is a pure caching scenario, where only reads are performed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Benchmark Highlights<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Capella and Redis results, make sure to check out the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.couchbase.com\/nosql_comparison_web\/altoros-report-2023-nosql-dbaas-performance-couchbase-capella-redis-enterprise-cloud\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">detailed Altoros report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that the new Magma storage engine was used for this set of benchmarks (Magma has efficiency benefits and reduced memory requirements for large data storage, but for pure speed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.couchbase.com\/server\/current\/learn\/buckets-memory-and-storage\/storage-engines.html#couchstore-and-magma-at-a-glance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Couchstore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will often be the better choice).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some highlights.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Performance &#8211; Workload A<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As in previous years, Couchbase does extraordinarily well in an update-heavy use case, especially as the need for large scale increases. For example, here\u2019s Workload A results:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15028 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"668\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image1.png 668w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image1-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15029 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"655\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image3.png 655w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image3-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these graphs, you can see that Capella\u2019s throughput is higher than Redis\u2019s DBaaS offering. Due to Capella\u2019s memory-first architecture and automatic sharding, the latency is also lower than Redis for this workload.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Functionality &#8211; Pagination Workload<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workload C is worth highlighting for a &#8220;pure cache&#8221; use case. Capella and Redis Enterprise Cloud both perform well for this workload due to their memory-first designs, which can cache results for faster response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15030 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image2.png 658w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image2-300x164.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15031 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image5.png 659w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image5-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once again, high throughput and low latency from both technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, while Redis performs very well in the case of a pure cache, it struggles with another more general purpose 100% read workload: pagination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15032 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"652\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image4.png 652w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image4-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take special note of the Y-axis of these charts: they have a logarithmic scale (otherwise they would be unreadable). Redis\u2019s latency is so high, and throughput so low, that it would otherwise be, literally, off the charts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15033 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image7.png 650w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image7-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a typical Redis deployment, this type of processing would typically require on a secondary database. However, Capella by itself handles this workload very well: high throughput, low latency, and easy as SQL syntax of <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SELECT . . . LIMIT . . . OFFSET<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of a &#8220;pure cache&#8221;, Redis is often used in conjunction with other databases. You will get good cache performance, but at the price of running two (or more) separate databases. (For instance, Redis <\/span><b>and<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mongo, Redis <\/span><b>and<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Oracle, etc).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In regards to &#8220;bang for your buck&#8221;, there are charts included that summarize the cost of each database deployment in &#8220;dollars per billion operations&#8221;. For example, here is Workload A\u2019s chart (shorter bars means less expensive):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15034 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image6.png 656w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2023\/11\/image6-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These costs do <\/span><b>not<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> take into account the second database that Redis may often require. It only takes into account the cost of the database and data operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you look at the whole report, Couchbase doesn\u2019t win every time, every workload. But, it does offer an impressive mix of price, features, and speed.
