Getting value by key is VERY fast! Also, the couchbase server scales very easy and very successfully horizontally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Couchbase? The N1Ql queries is something useless, in my opinion. They are very slow! I've used couchbase in a very big project with many concurrent requests and I noticed that at some point when you make lots of requests with n1ql, the couchbase server restarts, even though they were nothing performant... only selecting document by key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Couchbase: Don't try to use n1ql Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Couchbase solving and how is that benefiting you? We are getting millions json documents per seconds with very fast with minor load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Development Engineer Internet Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/21/2016 "Working with couchbase" 2.5/5 What do you like best about Couchbase? I entered a project with couchbase already integrated and I used it as a datastore for one of the apps. It was relatively simple to work with, the included groovy jdk seemed decently documented and wasn't a pain to work with. It was missing some key features however(batch gets) so we had to write a service ontop of their jdk. I mainly did operations through the console. It was ok. It was hard to use couchbase like a rds instance since it is a nosql db. Stuff like querying for documents with certain fields had to be done by first setting up indexes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Couchbase? If you aren't getting any specific documents by their ID then you have to setup a index. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Couchbase solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed a datastore for documents that our app used for persistence.

Ability to use Couchbase as a complete replacement for MemcachedD it very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Couchbase? We have had issues with Couchbase crashing on our development instances on EC2 and on our local vagrant instances. Seems like its very vulnerrable on low memory hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Couchbase solving and how is that benefiting you? We use it to cache static data for our app primarily.
