Couchbase Views, introduced nearly nine years ago, have traditionally supported secondary key access on stored JSON data, but are now considered less favorable due to modern alternatives like Global Secondary Indexing, N1QL querying, Full Text Search, and Analytics. A Couchbase view is a materialized dataset subset defined by a 'Map' function, with optional 'Reduce' summarization, stored on disk, and updated at regular intervals. Views support use cases like data aggregation, filtering, and geo-spatial querying, but face limitations such as scalability issues, high latency, and disk dependence, making them less efficient than newer options. As these limitations hinder performance and manageability, Couchbase is moving towards more advanced solutions, suggesting that Views may soon be deprecated, encouraging users to transition to enhanced alternatives for better scalability, performance, and throughput.
