This is the database for your next social app
What do you like best about the product?
Couchbase lite , Sync Gateway , Peer to Peer Sync , automatic update sequencing , XDCR . I am using couchbase for remote database and couchbase lite for both android and windows application and the syck functionalities work like a charm . Peer to peer and remote to peer sync functionalities save me a lot of work for couple of apps .
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not good , experience for querying is not good at all . should give a option to index all keys be default . Couchbase recently introduced N1QL in beta version which let you query without indexing which I havent tested yet . Also when I implemented it(mid 2015) the DOTNET sdk had many bugs and was in heavy development I my self contributed to the repository for that purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company have been using this for 2 production server for multiple internal apps .The bright side is that it has very good availability time as it has advantage of all NoSQL and CouchDB feature . Clustering/Replication are easy to use feature of couchbase .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a NoSQL database for your business this is the product you need . It has many great feature for high server availability as well as other feature for syncing ,replication and clusterin . Query and Indexing is bit tricky for beginners but it comes handy with the time . Also the documentation is not up to the level and it is still in development . Many SDKs still have some bugs so consider before migrating .
Scalable apps database without hassle
What do you like best about the product?
Couchbase is a good alternative to No SQL database management, it open a way to your scalable application without hassle. Very intuitive GUI make view statistic, administration, managing cluster very easy just one click like installing software and couch base manages all your need in background. So basically you were free from managing bucket and what node they live on.
Last thing is couchbase is available for public for free , but depends on what your use case.

What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation. Couchbase has a lot of good features and automation, but aside from that it lacks of documentation of their SDK. The community is big but the forum is quiet, a lot of post and small answer.
Their security about user control also is lacking, Couchbase should give a user manager for user that can access a document,

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use couchbase to storing my user sessions data, event data and also a configuration data. Its very good
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are okay with some security reason, like user's document access and you seek perfect tools automation, Couchbase is your best shot, it can give you a simple install for each nodes.
Great for simple data models
What do you like best about the product?
Xamarin integration was easy to setup and implement
What do you dislike about the product?
With the update to 1.2v it is difficult to implement new features like pre installed databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Document database storing for simple objects. Quick and easy to setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the 1.1v till new features are documented in the 1.2v. We were trying to use pre installed databases with Xamarin and it wasn't working properly, possibly the Xamarin component.
Blending KV store and structured queries in highly multi-tenanted enterprise SaaS app
What do you like best about the product?
We like the raw performance of the KV store, but with the flexibility to run structured queries across json documents using N1QL. Version 4.0 brings secondary indexes which allow us to boost performance and reduce our need for the map-reduce views. CouchBase also allows the developers to choose the consistency expectations per call this enables us to take advantage of high performing calls when consistency is less important. CouchBase is ridiculously easy to setup, manage, add/remove nodes, rebalance etc. The dashboard gives you detailed insight into the cluster, which reduces the management overhead.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little so far, some minor bugs in the Java SDK, but we have been pretty much on the bleeding edge for releases in our development process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Highly scalable metadata store, with the need for high geographic distribution.
We have benefited from reduced development and devops costs.

Decent solution for key-value or document datastore
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install, manage, and maintain. Very fast reads. Cloud-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
In case you need to access anything in any other way than by key, it is challenging. Views / indexes are slow, even in version 3.0 where Couchbase claims huge performance improvement in that area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly using Couchbase as a persistent cache. I do not see much benefits vs. Cassandra which is our primary noSQL solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Couchbase is great when you use it right - great persistent cache for documents / key-value store; not a replacement for a relational database. Also, if you plan on using ad-hoc queries, consider some other noSQL product, such as Cassandra.
Maybe your /boot partition is very small or something makes it seem so
Hi There:
In a fresh instalation the /boot partition has 83% used, as it grows the number of documents, the partition reaches more than 90% of its usability and an alert is sent.
I've noticed that even changing the path for storing the data to a larger partition, the problem persists.
What can be causing this? as can be avoided?
Thanks in advance
Wasn't as easy as using Ubuntu; would like more documentation.
I found it difficult to find documentation for this particular AMI.
Also, given that it uses Yum, one has to take care when updating their Python version to not break it.
Ultimately, I had more success using Ubuntu, using apt-get to get Couchbase, and working from there.
Same on ubuntu please
it is very difficult if you have to install other packages.
you end up building them from source, which lead you to lots of time lost.
Great Image of a good product
The product ist great. The image is easy to install. For everybody who is wondering about what to use for login:
Administrator // Password is your instance ID.
On a m1.xlarge Instance I was able to achieve around 15-20k ops / second but no more. Looks like the virtual environement of EC2 costs performance, because I get more on my own root server (around 32k ops/second).
