Designed for versatility and speed
Couchbase handles many data access patterns: key-value, JSON document, vector search, full-text search, time series, analytics, eventing, and SQL++. Flexible JSON supports semi- and unstructured data. Scopes and collections provide organization that's similar to tables/schemas. Build powerful queries with SQL++, which includes built-in JOINs, transactions, UDFs, CTEs, and cost-based optimization. Get coding help from AI-powered Capella iQ.
