Summary

Couchbase Server 6.0 has been released, emphasizing reduced time to insight for enterprise applications, and introducing the official launch of the Couchbase Analytics service. This new service supports Hybrid Operational and Analytical Processing (HOAP) workloads, allowing users to conduct ad-hoc analytical queries using a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) engine without affecting application performance. Key features include fast data ingestion, NoETL processing, workload isolation, ad-hoc querying, and the N1QL for Analytics, which is the first commercial implementation of SQL++ for querying JSON data. Early adopters have praised the service for its agility, cost-efficiency, and scalable performance. Additionally, Couchbase has enhanced its Eventing service with timers for triggering routines and improved its Full-Text Search service by doubling indexing speed and reducing index space by up to 70%. These updates aim to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly platform for both analytical and operational workloads.
