Couchbase Capella is a fully managed NoSQL Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) on AWS, offering users of Couchbase Server the opportunity to migrate their deployments and benefit from cloud-based scalability and reduced infrastructure maintenance. A detailed AWS Prescriptive Guidance pattern outlines a systematic method for migrating data and indexes from a self-managed Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition to Couchbase Capella, leveraging features like Cross Data Center Replication (XDCR) and Couchbase Shell (cbshell) for efficient data and index transfer. The process involves preparing the source environment, configuring the destination on Couchbase Capella, and using tools like cbshell to migrate indexes securely and efficiently. The migration pattern is designed to be repeatable and straightforward, ensuring a smooth transition, while the AWS Workload Migration Program offers potential cost savings for those moving to Couchbase Capella, enhancing the appeal of transitioning to this managed service.
