BARCELONA, May 21, 2019– Kubecon Europe 2019, Booth #S15 — Couchbase, Inc. today announced the latest release of Couchbase Autonomous Operator, a groundbreaking update bringing advanced features that enable Kubernetes-based application deployers greater freedom and flexibility in their apps lifecycle.

Enterprises are looking to reduce the cost and complexity of deploying, managing and scaling multiple clusters and hundreds of database instances over hybrid-cloud platforms. Couchbase surpasses these expectations with Couchbase Autonomous Operator 1.2 with several new features, including:

Production certification for cloud-managed Kubernetes services

By working closely with partners, Autonomous Operator 1.2 brings production certification and full production support for cloud-managed Kubernetes services on Amazon (AWS EKS), Azure (Azure AKS) and Google (Google GKE) platforms. The 1.2 release also refreshes support for Red Hat OpenShift to the latest release.

This cloud-agnostic approach avoids vendor lock-in and allows enterprises with multicloud strategies to deploy, manage and move their applications to and from any cloud, at any time. Deployment for hybrid-cloud mixing public cloud providers with on-premises deployments on Red Hat OpenShift gives further flexibility.

Automated upgrade of Couchbase clusters

With Autonomous Operator 1.2, developers can now perform automated upgrades of Couchbase Server clusters. Upgrading an entire Couchbase cluster is as easy as specifying the desired Couchbase version in the configuration, and then pushing it to Kubernetes.

Automated rolling upgrade of Kubernetes clusters

With support for automatic rolling Kubernetes upgrades, Autonomous Operator 1.2 dramatically lightens the load of upgrading the enterprise Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster, while ensuring that the Couchbase deployment doesn’t experience any downtime or data loss.

Automated resource validation through Kubernetes Admission Controller

Autonomous Operator 1.2 now uses a Kubernetes admission controller, from within the Kubernetes cluster itself, to perform validation checks before implementing a new Couchbase cluster configuration. This protects the Couchbase deployment (and the Operator) from any accidental damage that might arise from an invalid configuration.

Support for Helm

Using Helm is an effective way to deploy, manage and upgrade the Operator, providing a single point of authority for keeping track of resources associated with each deployment. The addition of official Couchbase Helm Charts make installation, upgrade, and maintenance even easier.

Public connectivity for Couchbase clients

This release introduces support for connecting clients to the Couchbase cluster over the Internet via public IP-based addressing and dynamic DNS.

TLS certificate rotation

Kubernetes certificate rotation while online and providing services is supported in order to enable the replacement of expired or compromised certificates.

Supporting quotes

“Couchbase Autonomous Operator 1.2 sets a new standard for Kubernetes in production deployments. For the first time, a fully distributed, scalable, enterprise-class database that can be orchestrated by Kubernetes is generally available to enterprises wishing to automate the deployment, monitoring, scaling and managing of database applications both on-premises and in public cloud environments seamlessly. Further, it brings the required abstraction and automation to the table, for intelligent CI/CD pipelines.”
— Bipin Jethwani, Principal Architect at AT&T Entertainment Group

“The buzz around Kubernetes is spilling over to the database world. The new autonomous operator will make setting up Couchbase in a hybrid or private cloud environment behave more like a fully managed cloud database-as-a-service experience, greatly reducing the friction of deployment.”
— Tony Baer, Principal for dbInsight

“Couchbase is the first and only distributed database that brings a database into the CI/CD pipeline, which reduces the development-deployment friction so enterprises can bring their innovations to market quickly. With Couchbase Autonomous Operator 1.2, it is now possible for development teams to build their apps in the cloud quickly, and then deploy those apps in the cloud as well as on prem. Together with our partners, we now deliver this solution on GKE, EKS or AKS and Red Hat OpenShift, giving developers more options and flexibility than ever before.”
— Ravi Mayuram, SVP of Engineering and CTO, Couchbase

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — May 2, 2019 – Couchbase today announced the latest version of Couchbase Mobile, the industry’s first embedded NoSQL database. Couchbase Mobile 2.5 enables developers to create mobile applications and manage data with secure embedded local device storage, advanced sync capabilities, and Machine Learning (ML) queries.  

As today’s global enterprises look more and more at edge computing to address sensitivities around bandwidth, cost, and latency,¹ they are recognizing the intrinsic value of capturing and using edge data in their business-critical applications. Couchbase Mobile 2.5 introduces new functionality for enterprises capitalizing on business-critical information at the edge with:

1. 1. Predictive Queries for applications using ML²

2. 2. Delta Synchronization for bandwidth constrained environments

3. 3. Enhanced supportability

Predictive Query

The new Predictive Query API allows mobile applications to use trained ML models to run predictive queries locally on mobile devices against stored data. The predictions in the database can be correlated with predictions made in real-time from mobile cameras and other local context sources.

ML in the database on the edge offers several benefits, including fast correlation of real-time predictions with application data, decreased operational cost of ML infrastructure, increased privacy, and online/offline support that all ultimately provide a better customer and employee experience.

In retail, predictive queries enable employees and customers to easily access detailed inventory and product information using their phone’s camera. For example, when a customer asks an employee, “What shirts do you have that match these pants I’m wearing?” Using a mobile app that uses Predictive Query, the employee can take a picture of the pants, the query can correlate the image of the pants with the product catalog items stored on their phone, and the employee can answer that question like an expert – anytime, anywhere, online, and offline.

Delta Synchronization

With delta sync, enterprises can realize bandwidth savings when synchronizing data between the mobile device and enterprise servers as well as with peer-to-peer sync between mobile devices. This feature only syncs the individual parts of the document that have changed, resulting in significant reduction in network usage and faster sync time. For example, the transfer size of a 50 byte change to a 2000 byte product catalog document using delta sync would achieve ≥97% compression, where transfer using Gzip would typically achieve ≤70% compression.

Enhanced supportability

The enhanced supportability of Couchbase Mobile 2.5 introduces enhanced logging support as well as advanced stats reporting. Troubleshooting issues in mobile apps deployed in production is challenging, and the latest enhancements alleviate these challenges with continuous logging support, where more detailed logs can be captured any time a problem occurs. Additionally, the enhanced synchronization statistics makes it easier to monitor and control costs of managing such deployments.

Supporting Quotes

“Mobile is a significant trend in data management today, which has the ability to integrate data at the edge with business process data, thus enabling organizations to be able to take immediate action on that data. As an early mover in the mobile database space, Couchbase continues to iterate and innovate on its mobile database technology ensuring that its customers are well-positioned to take advantage of this trend.”

–James Curtis, senior analyst, Data, AI & Analytics at 451 Research

“As an early adopter of Couchbase Mobile, we’ve been able to convert our vision of providing attendees with a first-class mobile experience into a reality.”

–Brent Ryan, Senior Enterprise Architect, Cvent

“Since we initially launched Couchbase Mobile in 2014, the industry has come a long way in terms of fully understanding the true potential of data at the edge. What may have been seen as something nice to have back then has become a must-have today in order to provide rich interaction with customers at the point of engagement. It’s always an exciting time to release new versions of our products, but it’s especially exciting today because the market is finally catching up.”

–Ravi Mayuram, Senior Vice President of Engineering and CTO, Couchbase

²Delta synchronization and enhanced supportability are available immediately with Predictive Query in developer preview.

SEATTLE–December 13, 2018– KubeCon +CloudNativeCon North America, Booth S12 – Couchbase, creator of the world’s first Engagement Database, today announced the publication and immediate availability of Couchbase on Kubernetes: Autonomously Run and Manage a Complex Distributed Database on Kubernetes.

Authored by Couchbase Director of Product Management Anil Kumar, the book details how to autonomously run and manage Couchbase on Kubernetes to reduce complexity, human error and manual management of database services. As Kubernetes continues to gain momentum there are a number of roadblocks that can hinder progress, and Kumar’s book helps readers overcome obstacles including high operational costs, vendor lock-in and delayed time to market.

“Kubernetes has the ability to streamline operations and provide a more efficient consumption of resources and cloud portability, but to date it has really only been accessible to highly technical users,” said Kumar. “The aim of my book is to explain simply and clearly how less technical users can get started with Kubernetes, and how to build on basic Kubernetes resource and controller concepts with Couchbase Autonomous Operator, the first NoSQL autonomous operator for Kubernetes.”  

The book explains:

• How users can leverage Couchbase Autonomous Operator to extend the Kubernetes API to create, configure and manage instances of complex stateful applications
• How to leverage Kubernetes across multicloud deployments
• How to deliver automated operations and cloud-agnostic deployments with unmatched agility and flexibility through Couchbase Autonomous Operator

In addition, Don Chamberlin, co-inventor of SQL, recently published SQL++ For SQL Users: a Tutorial in collaboration with Couchbase. Earlier this year, Couchbase launched Couchbase N1QL for Analytics, the first commercial implementation of the SQL++ query language.

“SQL++ has been a decade in the making, and is essential to leverage semi-structured data for analytics,” said Chamberlin.”It addresses gaps in SQL’s ability to query JSON and maintains the syntax of SQL for ease of use. This book details best practices for the next generation query language, which combines the benefits of SQL with the flexibility of JSON.”

Both N1QL and Couchbase Autonomous Operator represent major advancements in the industry and are helping to shape the future of databases and query languages. Attendees of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America this week can meet with Couchbase to receive a free copy of Couchbase on Kubernetes at booth S12.

Couchbase Server 5.5 took top honors in the Data Management category.

The Couchbase Data Platform is a distributed, multicloud, and mobile NoSQL document database, based on a memory-first, async everywhere architecture. Couchbase Server 5.5 combines the power of SQL and the flexibility of JSON to offer simplified application management and operational agility. With features including ANSI joins and Eventing, enterprises can easily develop and deploy applications across multicloud environments to create exceptional experiences for customers and employees. Today, Couchbase powers customer and employee engagement for the world’s most innovative companies, including eight of the top 25 Forbes Global 2000 companies, six of the top 10 broadcast TV companies, all three of the major credit reporting bureaus, and six of the top 10 U.S. e-commerce companies.

“Couchbase is proud to be recognized as a finalist in the annual CRN Tech Innovator Awards,” said Matt McDonough, Vice President of Business Development at Couchbase. “We are dedicated to providing our partners with the products and tools necessary to meet the increasing data needs and complexity of a growing database market, and this recognition further confirms our strength in the space.”
