Use cases that drive the need for NoSQL databases
summary
A NoSQL platform that combines in‑memory key/value speed with JSON documents and N1QL (SQL for JSON) claims real customers and measurable scale: LinkedIn caches ~2 million sessions, Tesco runs a 10M‑SKU catalog, Amadeus sustains ~15 million ops/sec, Glue handles ~1 billion auths/day (~13.5k TPS), eBay logs ~110 billion calls/day, Staples applies ~1.6 billion real‑time rules, Revolut’s fraud app catches ~96% of attacks. Offline/edge use cases use Couchbase Mobile for full local DB + sync; managed offering Couchbase Cloud reports 4–5× faster common workloads.
