They were Britain\u2019s Best Breakthrough Act in 1982, don\u2019t tell me my finger isn\u2019t on the pulse. I\u2019m not a superfan, I just like a few of their songs. I\u2019m certainly not hipster enough to talk about their \u201cearlier work\u201d and \u201crare b-sides.\u201d In fact, the songs I like are mostly the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uPudE8nDog0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">usual crowd pleasers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The concert was heaving, and for someone who doesn\u2019t see live music all that often it was LOUD. As they were going through their repertoire I happily belted out the ones I knew. But the honest truth is for the songs I\u2019m not that familiar with, there\u2019s a part of me thinking, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">what about the classics?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d They closed with \u201cDon\u2019t You Want Me\u201d and the crowd went bananas, and this particular passing fan went home delighted. The increased volume level that accompanied the encore told me I wasn\u2019t the only one holding out for the favourites. I\u2019m sure this is a quandary all bands face when they\u2019re launching a new album. How much do they focus on the new material versus reinforcing what made them popular in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 5 years we have had have been such good times&#8230;<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Couchbase we\u2019re locked in the studio working hard on our fifth album, Couchbase 5.0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">previews are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/couchbase-5-0-march-2017-developer-build\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">available now<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. If you\u2019re relatively new to Couchbase, here\u2019s a quick recap of our back catalogue. Our first edition, (\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simple, Fast, Elastic\u201d)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was a pure Key-Value store. It was scalable, but my word it was <\/span><b>fast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The product\u00a0was built with a memory-centric architecture, written in C and based on the popular memcached project. This debut\u00a0earned us a lot of notoriety and had some great success. We followed that up in 2.0 with a fully fledged document store including indexing and cross datacenter replication (XDCR) capabilities. For our \u201cdifficult third album\u201d we completely rewrote our internal plumbing to make it more fault tolerant and lay the groundwork for the next set of features. Our 4.0 release went in a significant new direction and one that really changed the game. It introduced N1QL, a SQL-like language familiar to the masses to query and manipulate JSON documents. Along with this came a powerful secondary indexer and an integrated mobile solution complete with cloud synchronisation. Couchbase Server was no longer the preserve of the alternative stations but getting serious airplay in the mainstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3198\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3198\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/family_album.png\" alt=\"The Couchbase discography\" width=\"900\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/family_album.png 900w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/family_album-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/family_album-768x331.png 768w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/family_album-20x9.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3198\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Couchbase discography<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5.0 will build on this even further: production full-text search, role-based access control for documents, new bucket capabilities, a brand new UI, and an analytics service preview. It\u2019s going to be another huge progression for us, and the product is barely recognisable from version 1. But often I speak with customers and they inquire (possibly concerned), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;what about the classics?&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> What of that high performance key-value store that made people stand up and take notice of Couchbase in the first place? Given all of these additions, it might have been all too easy for us to forego some of the early qualities that brought us success. In fact, the opposite is true. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">D<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on\u2019t forget it\u2019s me who put you where you are now&#8230;<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Couchbase we are <\/span><b>obsessed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with performance. We always have been and always will be. This obsession is a voice in our heads at every turn reminding us what brought us here . The Key-Value (KV) Engine development team takes enormous pride in ensuring that each release is an improvement over the next. For example, take a look at how previous releases stack up for one particular Key-Value throughput metric:<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3197\" style=\"width: 1683px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3197\" class=\"wp-image-3197 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph.png\" alt=\"Couchbase Server Performance Comparison\" width=\"1673\" height=\"919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph.png 1673w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph-1024x562.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph-1536x844.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2017\/04\/perf_blog_graph-1320x725.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1673px) 100vw, 1673px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maximum throughput 50:50 Read\/Write workload, 20 million * 256 byte items, 1 replica, 2 node cluster using cbc-pillowfight<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This graph is worth a second look: <\/span><b>our current edition, 4.x, is more than twice as fast as its 3.x predecessor, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and 3.1.6 was no slouch. In a follow-on post I\u2019ll go into the technical detail of how these improvements were achieved (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tl;dr hard-fought profiling, analysis, use of efficient multithreaded C++ data structures, and cache line awareness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">). <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You&#8217;d better change it back or we will both be sorry<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maintaining performance takes a lot of effort. Couchbase Server is relied upon for the smooth running of thousands of mission-critical applications in all manner of industries. Many developers are familiar with the dilemma, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI can make this fast, but I\u2019m not sure how safe it is.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It\u2019s not that functionality always wins the debate over performance <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at Couchbase there is never a debate to be had. We always design and implement features with an eye on how to make them fast, but functionality always comes first. The culture to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">improve <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">performance initially comes from holding a high bar in terms of preventing performance regressions. We have an independent team that bombards every single build with rigorous performance tests and scrutinises the results. Take a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/showfast.sc.couchbase.com\/#\/timeline\/Linux\/kv\/max_ops\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">look<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the list of metrics is endless.
