Seems majorly confusing, and will potentially divide the community. Couchbase vs CouchDB. Can anyone explain the difference?

- espeed 15y agoCouchbase 2.0 is Membase Server (http://www.couchbase.com/products-and-services/membase-server http://www.couchbase.com/products-and-services/membase-serve...) merged with CouchDB, and as I understand it, Couchbase 2.0 more closely resembles Membase Server at the moment (http://www.couchbase.org/get/couchbase/2.0.0 http://www.couchbase.org/get/couchbase/2.0.0).
- sktrdie 15y agoI agree. This is getting overly complicated.
- perezd 15y agoIts not that complex. CouchDB is the core technology that Couchbase and BigCouch, et. al are using to power their more "vertical" offerings, in various degrees. CouchDB is not going anywhere, and its a great standalone product.
- mlmilleratmit 15y agoWe're certainly hoping to reduce the complication by removing the boundary between (clustered) BigCouch and Apache CouchDB by making the clustering an optional and transparent part of the Apache CouchDB project.
- re_todd 15y agoYeah, this makes me want to learn MongoDB instead.
- reinhardt 15y agopotentially divide the community. Couchbase vs CouchDB Actually that would be a step up from the current situation, which is "Apache CouchDB" vs "BigCouch" vs "CouchBase".
- mark_l_watson 15y agoI view CouchDB and BigCouch to be very similar since the client APIs and libraries are the same, so both have the same developer experience. Couchbase uses different client libraries and doesn't seem to have the language coverage that CouchDB and BigCouch do. All three are open source and you can build them yourself.
