About

Apache Cassandra is an open-source, highly scalable, distributed NoSQL database.

Couchbase is a distributed NoSQL database that was created in 2011 as a fork of CouchDB and designed for high-performance, scalable applications using JSON data.

It combines a document store with key-value access, supports SQL++ queries with joins and ACID transactions, includes built-in services for full-text search, analytics, and event processing, and uses a memory-first architecture with managed caching, clustering, and cross data center replication for low-latency operations and high availability.
