Summary

Couchbase Server is a document-oriented NoSQL database that addresses the common trade-off between NoSQL systems and SQL's rich querying capabilities by using its own N1QL query language, which is a superset of SQL. This language is currently supported by Couchbase Server and is expected to be included in Couchbase Lite with the upcoming version 2.0 release. In a presentation at the Silicon Valley Couchbase Meetup, Keshav Murthy, Senior Director of Couchbase R&D, explains the advantages of using NoSQL, how to model NoSQL data, and how to query NoSQL with N1QL. Couchbase is an open-source platform, available for free trial, with resources accessible through their developer portal and an active presence on platforms like Twitter and Stack Overflow for community engagement and support.
