Summary

The Couchbase team has introduced support for Couchbase Analytics queries in their Node.js SDK, allowing developers to perform complex analytics on large datasets. This new feature provides direct access to the data management platform, enabling developers to build custom dashboards and reporting tools using industry-standard analysis platforms like Tableau and QlikView. A demonstration application has been built to showcase the capabilities of Couchbase Analytics, including a server-side component that exposes a RESTful interface and a client-side component that displays business-specific metrics in a simple HTML5 page with graphs. The dashboard is powered by Chart.js and uses SQL++ queries to fetch data from the Couchbase Analytics cluster, providing a flexible way for developers to analyze their data and gain insights into their applications.
