help Couchbase Capella FAQ
What is the difference between Couchbase Server and Couchbase Capella?
Couchbase Server is the self-hosted, open-source-derived NoSQL database that organizations must install and manage on their own infrastructure. Couchbase Capella is the fully managed, cloud-native Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) version that handles scaling, patching, and backups automatically.
Which cloud providers support Couchbase Capella deployments?
Couchbase Capella is designed to run on major public cloud platforms, specifically Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. This allows developers to deploy their database clusters in the same environment as their application servers to reduce latency.
Does Couchbase Capella use SQL or NoSQL for querying data?
Couchbase Capella utilizes N1QL (pronounced "nickel"), which stands for Non-first Normal Form Query Language. This allows developers to use familiar SQL-like syntax to query JSON documents, bridging the gap between relational and NoSQL databases.
Can Couchbase Capella be used for offline-first mobile applications?
Yes, Couchbase provides an edge-to-cloud sync capability that allows mobile applications to store data locally using Couchbase Lite. When a device regains connectivity, it seamlessly synchronizes this offline data with the Couchbase Capella cloud database.
