Summary

Couchbase's latest querying technology makes it easier to switch from relational databases to NoSQL by introducing N1QL, an extension to SQL that allows developers to use the familiar language with NoSQL data. Unlike traditional NoSQL platforms, Couchbase's N1QL enables joining documents and querying data in a more intuitive way, without requiring complicated server-side logic or multiple database calls. This innovation brings several advantages, including faster query execution, reduced application server load, and support for popular programming languages such as Java, Node.js, and .NET.
