Couchbase is costing you more than you think
Five signs it’s time to switch to Aerospike for predictable performance and lower costs.
Couchbase is widely used for its SQL-based document database, but its architecture wasn’t designed to handle the demands of large-scale, high-performance workloads. Enterprises often face issues with latency spikes, costly RAM requirements, and unpredictable failovers—leading to higher infrastructure costs and operational complexity.
This guide breaks down the five biggest signs you’ve outgrown Couchbase and how Aerospike offers a scalable, cost-effective solution for enterprises that require real-time performance at a lower TCO.
Eliminate manual scaling headaches
Aerospike automates cluster management and rebalancing.
Ensure high availability and reliability
Minimize failover times and keep mission-critical applications running.
Lower TCO and infrastructure needs
Reduce hardware costs by up to 80% while improving throughput.
Infinite scalability, lowest latency, lowest costs
Aerospike key features
Unlike Couchbase, Aerospike doesn’t require excessive RAM caching to maintain performance. Its hybrid memory architecture optimizes hardware efficiency, and its dynamic cluster management ensures that failovers and scaling are seamless—without administrator intervention.
Automated scaling and self-healing clusters
Aerospike eliminates the need for manual rebalancing, automatically redistributing data when nodes are added or removed—keeping performance consistent without downtime.
Enterprise-grade consistency and availability
Aerospike provides Jepsen-verified consistency, ensuring critical financial transactions, AI/ML workloads, and real-time analytics run without data loss or stale reads.
Cost-effective scaling
Aerospike’s storage-optimized design enables predictable performance without excessive RAM dependencies—delivering faster transactions while lowering TCO.
Testimonials
We have many real-time decisions to make involving a lot of data and we need sub-millisecond processing for reading and writing data all over the world.
