Unified data platform has powered real-time sessions and microsecond insights across clouds
One of the best features that Couchbase Server offers is scalability due to Multi-Dimensional Scaling. Unlike other NoSQL databases where every node has to run every service, this MDS allows us to scale services independently. Multi-Dimensional Scaling has helped our team by making scaling easier in a noticeable way. If our data volume grows, we scale the data service. If we are running heavy lookups, we horizontally scale just the index or query services. Couchbase Server has positively impacted our organization by successfully eliminating our data layer silo issues. Instead of stitching together a separate database, a separate caching tier, and a text search platform, Couchbase Server handles operational data, indexing, and vector searching inside one unified data platform. This saved our infrastructure team immense maintenance overhead.

Reliable data management with great reliability and performance
From a sales pitch standpoint, it needs to deliver on promises of better ROI and compaction. Additionally, ticketing and support systems could be improved due to the time it takes to get answers. There's also an issue with compatibility when attempting to switch back from the enterprise to the community version.
