How to select a future-proof database
summary
Couchbase is pitched as a distributed, memory-first JSON document store that combines memcached-style caching with CouchDB storage and exposes familiar SQL-like queries, aims to run on laptop, on-prem, cloud or Kubernetes, and to add or remove nodes without downtime while self-repairing. Concrete claims: Pokemon Go: 28.5M users, $2.7M first-month revenue, 10+ nodes added per day, customer outage: 15 minutes cost €4.7M. Emphasis on edge sync for mobile offline, global replication across continents, and avoiding cloud-vendor lock-in and costly migrations.
