Couchbase has announced the release of Couchbase Distributed ACID Transactions, specifically designed for Java developers to integrate with ease into their existing projects. This new API allows developers to implement transactions without requiring additional configuration or setup on their clusters, as it is available for the Community Edition and can be integrated by simply adding a library line to a gradle or Maven project. Although the initial release is Java-only, future releases for other programming languages are planned. Developers are encouraged to consult the accompanying documentation and video guide to get started and provide feedback through forums or comments.
