According to a recent press release, “Couchbase, Inc., the NoSQL leader, announced today a new release of the Couchbase data platform that powers web, mobile and IoT (Internet of Things) applications for digital businesses. The enhanced product suite now provides easier global application deployments, advanced security capabilities and greater development flexibility, and includes Couchbase Server 4.6, Couchbase Sync Gateway 1.4, Couchbase Kafka Connector 3.0 and Couchbase Spark Connector 2.0. Couchbase is seeing increasing demand for its technology that operates as a “system of engagement” database. In use by some of the world’s biggest brands, including Amadeus, Marriott and United Airlines, Couchbase delivers the speed, scalability and flexibility required to power digital business applications. Couchbase makes it simple to build adaptable, responsive always-available applications that scale to meet unpredictable spikes in demand and enable mobile and IoT apps to work offline.”

The release goes on, “While traditional system of record databases remain a vital part of data management infrastructure, they were not designed for highly interactive web, mobile and IoT applications. Existing NoSQL databases provided some relief by adding flexibility and scalability but lacked a comprehensive data platform with broad native capabilities that can support these modern workloads at massive scale. Couchbase provides a platform that includes a server database, a native mobile database, a synchronization gateway and Big Data and SQL integrations, delivering a true system of engagement database with the capabilities needed to power the daily activities of today’s modern consumer.”
