About
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.
PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a powerful open-source object-relational database system that extends SQL with features for storing structured, semi-structured and geometric data.
It supports ACID transactions, multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), advanced indexing types (GiST, GIN, BRIN), native JSON/JSONB with indexing, extensibility through custom types and functions, full-text search, foreign data wrappers, and geospatial queries via PostGIS.
