Enterprise Analytics Now Available on Microsoft Azure
Blog post from Couchbase
Couchbase Enterprise Analytics is now available for self-managed deployments on Microsoft Azure, providing real-time analytics capabilities that allow customers to gain immediate insights from operational data without affecting application performance. This integration eliminates the need for complex ETL processes by enabling real-time ingestion and analysis of JSON and other semi-structured data, supporting multi-source ingestion from platforms like CosmosDB and MongoDB, and allowing direct querying of external object storage such as Azure Blob Storage. The real-time operational write-back feature enhances business applications by enabling analytical query results to be written back to the operational database quickly. By combining operational and analytical workloads in one platform, Couchbase reduces data duplication and complexity, offering a unified platform that supports high performance and scalability with Azure's infrastructure. The deployment on Azure also offers benefits like utilizing Azure Blob Storage for cost-effective and scalable data storage and leveraging the External Collections feature for powerful query access to existing data assets. Couchbase is designed to support multiple workloads within a single platform, providing flexibility and deployment freedom across different environments, thereby aligning with business requirements seamlessly.
