🆚 Couchbase vs. Microsoft SQL Server

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.

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft.

It supports Transact-SQL (T-SQL) as its query language, runs on both Windows and Linux platforms, includes features such as Always On Availability Groups, in-memory OLTP, Transparent Data Encryption, and row-level security.
