Couchbase Announces $14 Million Series C Funding
- Andrex 15y agoCongrats J Chris, Damien Katz, and all the rest!
- janl 15y agoThank you. Now, back to work :)
- FrancescoRizzi 15y agoGood to see NoSQL growth with some $ attached (that's usually a marker that the growth is moving beyond the "techies in the basement" stage) <-- I know: I'm generalizing
- tedjdziuba 15y agoSeries C? Wow, you guys must be hurting. That's got to be some serious dilution.
- janl 15y agoNice FUD :) I obviously can't go into the details, but the fact that Couchbase is the result of a merger makes this a little different.
- kordless 15y agoHaters gotta hate. Congrats to you guys.
- 18pfsmt 15y agoI swear to god my memory of my early lurking on HN was you contributing in a way that I learned something, but since I registered (and you had an exit), you seem more content in fucking with people. I just don't get it.
- shin_lao 15y agoWhy do you need the funds for?
- jchrisa 15y agoMobile is a growing market, so we'll need to grow with demand even in bad economic times. I'm happy we had such good timing, because now we can focus on our technology and our customers.
- PhrosTT 15y agoWhat exactly qualifies as "leading NoSQL database company" ? I've been lazily waiting for a NoSQL solution to be deemed 'the winner' by the tech community. Then I won't waste time learning the 'wrong one'.
- rb2k_ 15y agoI've been doing the same with transportation. I hope the whole "riding a bike, driving a car, flying a plane and walking" bubble bursts and people settle on one of them
- dstein 15y agoNoSQL obeys the second law of thermodynamics. Expect MORE fragmentation in the future, not less.
- tilgovi 15y agoThe thing to hope for is the death of the terminology and the proliferation, not consolidation, of technologies. Saying that all these diverse storage systems are all "NoSQL" and there will eventually be a "winner" is like saying that there will be one winner among Clojure, Scala, Java, JRuby, and Jython just because they all run on the JVM. Okay, so that's actually a bad comparison. In any case, what I mean to say is there's more than one thing moving under this blanket. Don't be fooled by the marketing.
- thadeus_venture 15y agoAgreed with previous posters that there won't be one system to rule them all as there are a ton of use cases. Having said that every single system out right now sucks badly. Every one has some serious flaw or flaws. I'm not knocking anyone here, just this particular market is in its infancy at this point. It'll be a while before there is a truly good choice even if you are willing to pay money. On a mostly unrelated note, the title of this post used to have the phrase "leading nosql database" in it, which is definitely marketing hyperbole :).
- BenSS 15y agoGreat news, I've been really liking Couch and this means it sticks around much longer.
- wallflower 15y agoCongrats to Damien Katz, J Chris, and the other founders. Damien's all-in story to build CouchDB is inspirational: "This is a talk I gave last year at RubyFringe, about the whole process of me and my wife selling our house and living off savings to create CouchDB." http://www.infoq.com/presentations/katz-couchdb-and-me http://www.infoq.com/presentations/katz-couchdb-and-me http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=465653 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=465653
- rch 15y agoDoes anyone have a current benchmark showing initial load and view-indexing performance on a single mac mini (i7/ 8GB/ dual 256 GB SSD)? That's the demo I'd want to see before taking another look.
