I was working on a game called Infinite Fleet and the backend for that particular game was written in Golang and our database of choice was Couchbase. We were dealing with a lot of unstructured data and were leveraging the load balancing capabilities of Couchbase. The data that is stored on our…

The scripting language for this solution could be improved. A big selling point is that they're like SQL server but there is still quite a lot of missing functionality. They are slowly adding additional functionality but without it, the solution ca be complex to use. Secondly, this solution does not function well on a Windows based server or infrastructure. Hosting it on a Windows server can max out your CPU and bring down your cluster. This is one of the main reasons that we stepped away from having that in this kind of environment as well as needing to buy a license for support. There is also a lack of documentation.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"The most valuable feature of Couchbase is document indexing. It is better than MongoDB. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The main advantages were associated with it being a no SQL database. It helped us send out metrics or rewards to multiple players in our game at a very low latency."
"The whole stack is valuable, but the portion of the stack that we're finding really handy is the analytics engine because that allows us to take and pre-build views."

Room for Improvement

"Couchbase could improve the design of the UI because it should be optimized for viewing statistics or a similar feature."
"One thing that could improved upon is the level of concurrency. The documentation for this solution could also be improved."
"It's easy to deploy. Where the challenge comes in is when you start putting data in, doing the indexes, and doing the integration with systems. Integration is one of their weakest points. Natively, there should be a wide range of integration options to be able to get data in."

Pricing

"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing as it is affordable."
"It seems very reasonable. It's a lot cheaper than Redis, but we've got an enterprise license. So, it's about normal. It's not outrageous in price as far as we've seen.From Couchbase, there's no additional fee as far as I'm aware, but when you're integrating, there's an additional fee because a lot of times, they don't have an integration stack."
"I wouldn't say Couchbase offers good value for money."
