Altoros, an IT consulting firm, conducted an independent benchmark, commissioned by Couchbase, comparing the Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solutions of Couchbase Capella and Redis Enterprise Cloud using the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) standard. The study revealed that Couchbase Capella outperformed Redis in terms of features, performance, and total cost of ownership across various workloads and cluster sizes. Notably, Capella excelled in update-heavy scenarios and pagination tasks, offering high throughput and low latency without needing additional databases, unlike Redis. Couchbase Capella's advantages include its memory-first architecture, automatic sharding, and a versatile multi-model database supporting key-value, JSON, and time series data types, along with SQL++ querying, full-text search, and built-in analytics. The report highlights that while Couchbase does not always surpass Redis in every workload, it offers a compelling combination of price, features, and speed, making it an appealing choice for many applications.
