To leverage Couchbase Analytics, developers can prepare shadow datasets against a bucket using simple commands from the Analytics query console. These datasets are then initialized by connecting to the Bucket and executing specific commands. With the Java SDK, developers can create applications that query massive amounts of data using SQL++ queries without worrying about indexing, resulting in fast and efficient results. The Couchbase Developer Portal provides additional resources for learning more about developing with Java and utilizing the new features available in the Couchbase Server 5.5 release.
