Couchbase, the cloud database platform company, has officially launched Capella Columnar on AWS, which helps organizations streamline the development of adaptive applications. This new offering enables real-time data analysis alongside operational workloads within a unified database platform.

Additionally, Couchbase has made Couchbase Mobile with vector search generally available. It allows customers to implement similarity and hybrid search capabilities in their applications on mobile and at the edge. With Capella Columnar and vector search integrated into one cloud database platform, Couchbase empowers customers to reduce costs and simplify operations, while enabling developers to create trustworthy adaptive applications that run from cloud to edge.

Couchbase has also announced Capella Free Tier, a free developer environment designed to empower developers to evaluate and explore products and test new features without time constraints. Couchbase simplifies learning, developing and deploying applications on Capella into production, and provides developers with the access and convenience they need to build upon applications without worrying about an end date.

“We’re committed to empowering organizations to build truly adaptive applications that can respond to real-world scenarios in real time,” said Matt McDonough, SVP of Product and Partners at Couchbase. “With the launch of Capella Columnar, we’re solving long-standing challenges in JSON data analytics, enabling businesses to seamlessly integrate insights into their operational applications. Our vector search capabilities in Couchbase Mobile extend this adaptivity to edge and IoT devices, opening up new possibilities for hyper-personalized and context-aware applications.”

“Developers want to kick the tires on any software they plan to use before committing, particularly when it comes to database solutions,” said Kate Holterhoff, Senior Analyst at RedMonk. “By offering a free tier to Capella, Couchbase acknowledges the tinkering spirit that motivates these important builders and creators.”

Capella Free Tier will be available in September.
