Couchbase Cloud is available on Azure for the first time. It is the managed service version of the multi-cloud-to-edge NoSQL database Couchbase Server. It is based on a memory-first architecture with an SQL-friendly query language. In addition, Couchbase Cloud contains robust SDKs for developers and is a schema-independent JSON format, which enables flexible scaling.

According to the manufacturer, the combination of Couchbase reduces Server and integration on Microsoft Azure’s In-virtual Private Cloud (VPC) reduce the costs associated with traditional deployments, with no restrictions on the control and security of the data. With the help of the integrated user interface (“single pane of glass”) for multicloud management and cross-data center replication, multi-clusters can be managed across different cloud regions.

Billing based on usage Couchbase Cloud is available in various licensing models. For example, users can choose between hourly billing or prepayment with no monthly limits. According to Couchbase, there are no restrictions on IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) subscriptions. Usage can be configured and increased according to the customer’s development, test and operating requirements.

Furthermore, users per cluster can choose between SLAs (Service Level Agreement) for development environments (Developer Pro) or Productive operation (Enterprise) can choose. In addition, there is no CSP lock-in (Cloud Service Provider) through customer-specific applications.

Couchbase Cloud on Microsoft Azure is now available as 30 – Day test version available in the respective customer account in the two variants Developer Pro for development and test and Enterprise for the support of productive systems.
