Is anyone else using Couchbase? I'm evaluating it for a project with a mobile component and Couchbase Mobile with its automatic syncing seems like a great solution. Would love to hear peoples thoughts.
- jchrisa 13y agoHere are a few Couchbase users (but there's a lot we can't tell you about.) http://www.couchbase.com/customers http://www.couchbase.com/customers
- rdtsc 13y agoCloudant also has this mobile sync capability, they just released recently. They are also compatible with CouchDB (which Couchbase I think is not).
- rch 13y ago+1 for Cloudant - there are some truly top-notch folks over there. Of course there are smart people at Couchbase too, I'd just suggest giving Cloudant some serious consideration.
- tony_landis 13y agoCouchbase is based on CouchDB, which I have used. I've commented on it here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6690607 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6690607
- rubiquity 13y agoDespite sharing a common name, Couchbase and CouchDB have very little in common. It was a bad move by the original developers of CouchDB that left the project to give Couchbase the name Couchbase. Couchbase was designed for write-heavy applications and built with clustering in mind from day one. CouchDB was designed for read-heavy applications where versioning and replication are important. Cloudant, by way of their BigCouch product, has done a lot of great work on clustering for CouchDB and all that work is slowly making its way into CouchDB core. If you want the comparison of CouchDB vs Couchbase from Couchbase directly, you can read that here: http://www.couchbase.com/couchbase-vs-couchdb http://www.couchbase.com/couchbase-vs-couchdb In my opinion, the next closest NoSQL DB to CouchDB would be ElasticSearch.
