Couchbase Server 7.1 has been launched with the aim of enhancing operational efficiency and reducing deployment costs to help combat inflation. The new version introduces over thirty features, including high data-density storage through the new Magma engine, which significantly increases storage capacity and throughput while reducing cluster sizes. This allows databases to handle more data at a lower cost and with faster performance. Additionally, Couchbase Server 7.1 supports simultaneous operational and analytical workloads with a direct connector to Tableau and compatibility with ARM v8 processors, further reducing the total cost of ownership. The update also includes features like JavaScript user-defined functions, incremental backups, and improved security management, making Couchbase more efficient and accessible for various enterprise applications.
