Get under the hood of Couchbase’s architecture
Can your database keep up with every customer, employee, and machine interaction?
Built with the most powerful NoSQL technology, Couchbase was architected on top of an open source foundation for the massively interactive enterprise. Our geo-distributed Engagement Database provides unmatched developer agility and manageability, as well as unparalleled performance at any scale, from any cloud to the edge.

Scale Fail
Scaling up
The problem with traditional databases
Today’s requirement is for millions of interactions and users. Traditional databases were built for thousands. Designed for consistency and control, they lack agility, flexibility, and scalability.
Elastic Scale
Scaling out
Distributed, elastic, fast, simple
Next-generation architecture provides the speed and flexibility of memory-first operations. Designed for agility and lightning performance, Couchbase allows your applications, users, and workloads to scale together – cost-effectively.

Database Sprawl
Your data – everywhere
The problem with multiple technologies
As use cases have evolved, many organizations have been forced to deploy point solutions – including multiple types of databases. The resulting “database sprawl” leads to overly complex systems that are difficult to change, expensive, slow, and ultimately harm the customer experience.
Database Platform
One solution
Simplify and optimize
Couchbase provides strong technology integration and a rich ecosystem. Supporting a wide variety of apps, the result is increased agility, shorter time to market, simplified management, lower costs, and exceptional experiences for customers, partners, and employees.

Cloud Lock-in
Single cloud deployment
Stuck with a single vendor
With traditional databases, it gets harder and harder to leverage the growing possibilities of the cloud. So you’ll struggle to deliver the flexibility, performance, and security you need, let alone cost-effectiveness. And you don’t want your plans thwarted by cloud vendor lock-in. How do you get the flexibility you need?
Cloud Agnostic
Deploy how you want
Any cloud, anywhere
Maximize your cloud options and avoid vendor lock-in. Couchbase gives you the advantage of flexible, cloud-native data management. Scale compute, storage, and memory resources independently for private, public, hybrid, and multicloud deployments based on your workload requirements. Be as flexible as your business demands.
