To commemorate National Cloud Database Day, Couchbase unveiled significant updates in its Capella Spring 2023 release and the upcoming integration of Couchbase Server 7.2. These enhancements introduce broader use case support, new programming environment integrations, and improved scaling and deployment options. Capella now supports ephemeral memory-only buckets for transient data, and Couchbase Server 7.2 introduces time series data capabilities using JSON arrays, enhancing data processing and retrieval. Additionally, the server now includes change-data capture features via Kafka, cost-based query optimization in the Analytics service, and a range of reliability improvements. Couchbase Capella's developer tools have expanded with Netlify and a VSCode extension, alongside new deployment regions and larger cloud instance sizes. The updates aim to make cloud database management more efficient, with features like dynamic disk expansion and cluster hibernation, while maintaining compliance and security standards across major cloud providers.
