This spring, Couchbase launched Couchbase Cloud on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, allowing Azure users to leverage its scalable, reliable, and agile database-as-a-service (DBaaS) offering, which is also available on AWS Marketplace. This move aligns with Couchbase's strategy to provide a flexible, multi-cloud NoSQL solution without vendor lock-in, integrating seamlessly with Microsoft technologies and supporting developers through a native .NET standard 2.x SDK. Couchbase Cloud on Azure offers high-performance managed clusters, accessible via a common control plane, with capabilities such as high availability clustering and cross datacenter replication across ten Azure regions. The service is designed to enhance security, transparency, and cost-effectiveness, with testimonials like that from Facet Digital highlighting significant cost reductions and productivity improvements. The platform aims to maximize customers' cloud purchasing power while offering operational transparency and multi-functional capabilities.
