A tutorial video has been released demonstrating how to create an API with Node.js and Couchbase using the Object Document Mapper (ODM) tool Ottoman, which simplifies the process of mapping data layers to Node.js objects while handling queries and document relationships. This approach offers an alternative to using N1QL for querying, similar to how Mongoose functions as an ODM for MongoDB. Viewers are encouraged to watch both the Ottoman and N1QL tutorial videos to understand the different methods of integrating Couchbase with Node.js and to decide which method suits their needs best. For further exploration of Node.js and Couchbase functionalities, the Couchbase developer portal is suggested as a resource.
