Couchbase vs. MongoDB™ for Scale-Out and High Availability

In this paper, we will focus on how MongoDB compares to Couchbase when it comes to enabling enterprise applications to scale easily, efficiently and reliably, scale single services instead of the entire database, and avoid downtime and maintain high availability 24x7 with replication, automatic failover, and online operations.

How to Choose a Database for Your Mobile Apps

Today’s consumers rely on their mobile apps no matter where they are. If your apps are sluggish and slow or don’t work at all when there’s no internet connection, your customers will start looking for other apps that work all the time. To help you provide the always-on experience customers demand, database solutions like Couchbase Mobile have added synchronization and offline capabilities to their mobile database offerings.

This white paper helps you choose the best mobile database for your needs based on 6 key evaluation questions:

• Does it have support for the right platforms?
• Is data secure at rest and in motion?
• Do you have a flexible data model?
• How does your database handle pesky conflicts?
• Does your database sync at the right times?
• Does your database sync using the right topology?

We also help you answer one last critical question: Should you build or should you buy? Get your white paper now for the answers you need.

Accelerating Data-Driven Applications with Couchbase and Spark

Apache Spark is the leading in-memory analytics processing engine. Couchbase Server is the leading memory-first architectured NoSQL database. Combining these two best-of-breed technologies enables your business to execute real-time analytics for instantly actionable operational insights. 

Read this white paper to find out:

• How Couchbase provides Spark users with the lowest latency, highest throughput, most reliable NoSQL data source and target 
• How Spark enables Couchbase users with rich, scalable analytics for their operational applications
• How to move data between Couchbase and Spark using RDDs, DataFrames, Datasets, and DStreams

Couchbase Server: An Architectural Overview

Couchbase Server is a scale-out NoSQL database with an architecture designed to simplify building modern applications with a flexible data model, powerful SQL-based query language, and a secure core database platform that provides high availability, scalability, and performance.

In this paper, we explore the overall system architecture, the service each component provides, and the business requirements it addresses.

Read this white paper to learn:

• The different components of a Couchbase Server deployment
• How data are organized and structured in Couchbase Server
• How read and write operations are handled across the cluster
• How the different Couchbase Server components communicate with each other
• The security features of the Couchbase Server

Moving from Relational to NoSQL

Why use NoSQL? Innovative companies like AT&T, GE, and PayPal have successfully transitioned from relational to NoSQL for their critical web, mobile, and IoT applications. By understanding where to introduce NoSQL, how to model and access the data, and how to manage and monitor a distributed database, you can do the same. This white paper explains the need for non-relational databases, describes advantages of NoSQL, and clarifies the important difference between SQL and NoSQL databases.

High Performance with Distributed Caching

Today’s web, mobile, and IoT applications need to operate at increasingly demanding scale and performance levels to handle: Thousands to millions of users. Terabytes or petabytes of data. Submillisecond response times. Multiple device types. Global reach. Caching frequently used data in memory can dramatically improve application response times, typically by orders of magnitude. Get your “High-Performance Distributed Caching” guide to learn more. 

IDC: ROI Summary for Empowering Systems of Engagement: Business Value of Couchbase NoSQL Engagement Database

Traditional relational databases simply weren’t designed to meet the ever-increasing demands of today’s digital economy. As a result, leading businesses are quickly making the move to modern “systems of engagement” like the world’s first Engagement Database from Couchbase. In this whitepaper, IDC shares how Couchbase customers experienced an average of 274% ROI over 5 years, 19% faster new development cycles, $5.41M in additional revenue per year, and 37% more efficient database management.

Dealing with Memcached Challenges

Are you dealing with memcached problems like cold cache, heavy contention of RDBMS resources and lack of scale-out flexibility? Download this white paper to see how Couchbase can be a drop-in replacement for memcached servers and what you should consider when migrating existing memcached-based applications to Couchbase Server.

NoSQL Performance Benchmark Report

In this report, Altoros evaluated and compared the performance of the three most popular NoSQL databases – Couchbase Server, MongoDB™, and DataStax Enterprise (Cassandra) – under 3 different cluster configurations and 4 different workloads using the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB). See how Couchbase consistently outperformed the competition across configurations and workloads

NoSQL Tech Comparison Report

In this report, Altoros compares the architecture of three leading NoSQL databases: MongoDB, DataStax Enterprise, and Couchbase Server.

Making the Shift from Relational to NoSQL

As NoSQL database technology is increasingly being chosen as a viable alternative to relational databases, developers need to approach application development and data modeling differently. Get started by learning more about the advantages of moving from Relational to NoSQL in this whitepaper.

Developing Applications with Cross Data Center Replication (XDCR)

Mission critical applications need a database that is always on. While intra-cluster replication helps with server failures giving you high availability, your system still remains at risk from catastrophic failures. You may also need a way to improve the response time for users when they are globally distributed by replicating information closer to them. 

Why NoSQL?

Application requirements have fundamentally changed, and traditional RDBMS technology has failed to keep pace. As a result, the use of NoSQL technology is rising rapidly. Massive change is underway, disrupting the database status quo.
