OPEN Session: 14 Years of Database Evolution in 25 Minutes

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST

Elliot Scribner, Couchbase, Software Engineer

Couchbase started its life as a merge of two open source projects: CouchDB and Membase. This gave us a distributed key/value store with support for map/reduce querying if the value was a JSON document. As many open source projects it has evolved quite a bit in 14 years. We have added support for new data models, new query capabilities or ways of replicating data from cloud to cloud or to the edge. In this 25 minutes we will chronologically go through some of its features, see how sometimes they replaced old ones, or how they enabled new use cases.
