Additionally, it is an extremely popular choice as embedded database, distributed by thousands of ISVs and OEMs.
Why Couchbase is Better than MySQL Couchbase is better than MySQL for applications that need flexible schemas, horizontal distribution, and consistently fast access to changing JSON data. MySQL is a proven relational database, and HeatWave adds analytics, machine learning, vector storage, and generative AI capabilities. Couchbase is designed around distributed document and key-value workloads, with SQL++ queries, search, analytics, eventing, and cloud-to-edge synchronization built into the platform. Developers can evolve data structures without extensive relational modeling while supporting globally distributed and offline-first experiences. See more
