Couchbase Server 5.5 Beta introduces new enterprise-grade features, enhancing agility, performance, and manageability based on customer feedback. The release includes improvements to existing services, updated SDK components, and new services such as the Couchbase Eventing Service, which allows real-time processing of data changes, and the Couchbase Analytics Service, which facilitates real-time JSON data analysis without ETL processes. Notable enhancements include support for ANSI joins in N1QL for improved data modeling, aggregate optimization for faster query execution, index partitioning for scalability, and end-to-end data compression to reduce resource costs. Couchbase also focuses on ease of management with capabilities like Kubernetes deployment, auto-failover for high availability, security compliance with GDPR, and response time observability for performance monitoring. IPv6 support is added to accommodate the growing use of mobile and IoT devices, and additional improvements are anticipated in future updates.
