Couchbase

Couchbase is a cloud-native technology company that provides a high-performance, flexible, and scalable modern database platform.

The company's core product, Couchbase Server, is a distributed NoSQL cloud database designed for cloud, mobile, AI, and edge computing applications. Couchbase is versatile and handles various data types and structures, offering solutions that encompass key-value, JSON, SQL, full-text search, and more, all within a single platform. This capability simplifies data architecture without compromising on features necessary for AI-powered adaptive applications.

Couchbase offers a consumption-based pricing model, with pricing dependent on the number of nodes.
