An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
When we covered Couchbase in 2018, they were still within the tooth-and-nail battle of competing for market share in the increasingly crowded NoSQL database market, and in 2021 they grew SQL-native functionality to make them a hybrid competitor to RDBMS vendors as well.
Early-adopter cloud geeks liked Couchbase because of its superior data caching capabilities, which impact performance, cost and environment footprint considerations. With the launch of their Capella DBaaS offering, Couchbase meets newer customers where they are, offering fully managed and optimized pre-configured instances of their multi-modal database that reduces configuration effort for cloud, on-prem and remote instances.
As use cases like healthcare, banking and insurance lean on ever-increasing volumes of data including massive files such as images, video, and input from a vast array of services and IoT devices, moving data tagging and processing workloads to the edge of inference at any endpoint can prove valuable down the road.
