ARM v8 processors, originally prevalent in mobile phones, are becoming popular among desktop hardware vendors and major cloud service providers due to their superior performance and reduced power consumption compared to x86 processors. Couchbase has partnered with Amazon Web Services to offer its software suite, including Couchbase Lite, application SDKs, and Sync Gateway, in ARM v8 compatible versions, with the introduction of Couchbase Server 7.1 supporting clusters on 64-bit ARM v8 processors. This support includes AWS Graviton-based EC2 instances, Apple Silicon M1, and Raspberry Pi 4, offering flexibility to users without sacrificing functionality. Amazon's Graviton-powered instances are not only cost-effective, being about 20% cheaper than similar x86 configurations, but also demonstrate significant improvements in performance metrics such as read and update latency. The enhanced memory bandwidth and encryption capabilities of Graviton2 further contribute to reduced infrastructure costs, making ARM v8 a compelling choice for various use cases.
