Transactions key capabilities

Couchbase delivers distributed multi-document ACID transactions with full atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability. Execute complex operations across buckets, scopes, and collections while maintaining high throughput and low latency at scale.

  • Distributed ACID compliance

    Execute multi-document transactions that uphold ACID properties across distributed NoSQL datasets.

  • Flexible query and key-value operations

    Integrate SQL++ queries with key-value operations within a single transaction.

  • Monotonic atomic view isolation

    Ensure that reads within a transaction are consistent with the most recently committed state.

  • Developer-friendly SDKs

    Use SDKs to implement transactions with error handling, retries, and support for asynchronous programming models.

Execute atomic, multi-document writes

Perform all-or-nothing updates across multiple documents and collections within a single, atomic transaction to prevent partial states.

Support high-concurrency workloads

Safely handle simultaneous read and write operations across distributed applications with built-in conflict detection and isolation.

Enable automatic rollback on failure

Leverage transactional guarantees that automatically undo all staged changes if a transaction is interrupted, reducing manual recovery logic.

Run distributed transactions at the edge

Implement ACID-compliant transactions on mobile and edge devices, with offline support and automatic sync when connectivity is restored.
