While Couchbase Server looks like a viable alternative to MongoDB, CockroachDB, TiDB, or even Cassandra, I see very little discussion about it here on HN in the past few years.<p>Is there any reason for that? Is the technology not living up to the marketing? Is it not hipster enough?<p>It looks like a good technology stack with easy to use server administration and integrated features most app can use (e.g. full-text search). I am a bit surprised that it is not featured here.
I have built applications that uses couchbase both on server side and couchbase-lite on Android. Couchbase with the ability to sync between client and server replication is the best thing to happen and available free (community edition) today.<p>Unfortunately couchbase-server consumes lot of resource on the backend and it's heavy, which brings an entry of barrier from a start up point of view.
