Keeping the connection up
Ensuring communications stay personal
Telecommunications leaders like Rakuten Viber rely on Couchbase to power personalized profiles and more than 300,000 events per second, from calls to messages to video chats. After replacing Redis and MongoDB with Couchbase, they were able to slash their servers from 300+ to ~120.

"Mit weniger als der Hälfte der Server sind wir in der Lage, die Leistung zu steigern und eine viel bessere, skalierbare Architektur zu erhalten."

Keep your tech stack in the black
Legacy tech stacks can feel taped together, and come with plenty of technical debt that turns into literal debt.
Couchbase helps you unite your AI applications no matter where they are in your roadmap, so you can bring together contracts, governance surfaces, and teams. By building it better from the start, you’ll unearth ROI that keeps paying off.

Data that unlocks, not blocks
The infrastructure’s the roadblock, not the model
The data that sits under your model is what makes the difference between agent success and failure. We solve for context, access, governance, decision tracing, and long-term memory, so your product can go from prototype to working world-wide.

“Your differentiator in any market is going to be about your data. The models are already commoditizing. The core and the most important piece in the end is the data.”
– Barry Morris, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, Couchbase
Our AI Data Plane is next level
Billion-scale vector capacity
Build for the future with confidence knowing you won’t hit a limit when your app takes off.
Couchbase offers billion vector scale storage, so you can avoid the cost spiral that happens when you need to add instances and infrastructure midstream.

“It takes 10 years to build a real database system. If you want to be the AI database, you have to start before AI existed.”
– Barry Morris, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, Couchbase
Agent memory that helps you move ahead
Embed memory from the get-go
We help you start with memory infrastructure from day one, including decay, conflict resolution, per-agent auth, and asynchronous processing. Say goodbye to adding a memory server once your product has already taken off.

A co-innovation partner that’s always at your side
Don’t get locked into vendors that either compete with your business or assume a renewal is always around the corner.
We believe implementation is the first step in a life-long partnership with our customers. We run cloud, self-managed, hybrid, edge, mobile, and fully-air gapped, giving you all the flexibility you need without closing off exits.

Bye bye blank screen
Spinning wheels hate to see us coming
Couchbase brings enterprise-scale operational data to the mobile, edge, and offline environments. That means mid-flight Wi-Fi outages don’t stop service, thunderstorms only add to restaurant ambience, and cruise ship passengers are never digitally left out at sea.

“What people can do with mobile, and how the architecture yields well into cloud-to-edge—we want to take that part.”
– Gopi Duddi, CTO, Couchbase
Every device. Everywhere.
We’re for businesses who live at the edge
Data doesn’t stop at a cloud server. It needs to reach IoT devices on factory floors and in remote environments, cell phones on mountaintops, and smart devices on outdoor adventures. We offer on-device vector search, embedded NoSQL, and edge server deployment that let agents reach customers and businesses they trust, anywhere.
