This blog post by Matthew Groves introduces .NET developers to Couchbase, guiding them through the initial steps of downloading, installing, and setting up Couchbase Server on Windows 10. It recommends starting with the Community Edition and demonstrates how to run Couchbase as a Windows Service, access the Couchbase Console via a web browser, and configure basic settings including RAM allocation and sample data installation. The post explains that Couchbase stores data in "buckets" as key/value pairs, often using JSON documents for enhanced functionality like indexing and N1QL querying, which makes it a document database. It also touches on Couchbase's scalability through clustering and the option to enable or disable data replication. The post concludes by encouraging readers to explore the Couchbase Console and announcing future content on coding with Couchbase, while offering support through comments and direct contact.
