Couchbase has expanded its cloud offering to include support for Microsoft Azure, aiming to provide a flexible, high-performance NoSQL database as a service without vendor lock-in. This expansion allows Couchbase Cloud to leverage Azure's infrastructure while maintaining the same capabilities as on other cloud platforms, ensuring ease of management, security, and cost-effectiveness. Developers using Microsoft technologies benefit from native .NET standard 2.x SDKs, allowing seamless integration within the Microsoft stack. The service supports hybrid-cloud installations across ten Azure regions, offering high availability clustering and cross datacenter replication, which enhances migration and backup processes. Couchbase Cloud on Azure provides a cost-effective, multi-cloud solution, giving organizations greater operational and cost transparency compared to other JSON-based NoSQL databases available on Azure.
