Couchbase Server
Distributed JSON document database with key-value access, a SQL-like query engine and a built-in web console, made by Couchbase, Inc.
www.couchbase.comrepositorydocspricing
Couchbase Server is a distributed database for JSON documents. A cluster is built by installing the server on each node and joining the nodes together, and the cluster is administered from a web console that the server provides. Data is reached through a key-value store and a query engine for SQL-like queries, and Capella, a managed service from the same company, runs it as a hosted database.
Couchbase, Inc. maintains the product. Installs exist for Linux, macOS and Windows, and a Docker image is built from a repository the company publishes.
Worth knowing
The Community Edition license covers free deployment for clusters of up to five nodes, and the Enterprise Edition adds features and is sold on a subscription counted by the nodes used in production. The source repositories state that their code is under various licenses, including the Business Source License 1.1, so a reader should check the license of the release they install rather than assume one.
