Powered by Membase: Ad Platform AdAction
Wouter de Bie (systems developer for AdAction):
We needed a system that is simple to use and manage, provides low latency and high throughput, and expands to support our business at any scale. Our future success is tied to our ability to deploy new nodes seamlessly, on demand, with no downtime or time-consuming manual re-balancing. The new infrastructure enables us to deliver on our promise — highly targeted ads served within 100 milliseconds 99.99% of the time. As a result, we are delivering a consistently excellent service for our clients and their end customers.
They also characterize Cassandra as “sluggish in performance, cumbersome to rebalance and required significant downtime for upkeep and expansion”.

Iris Couch: Your New Source for CouchDB Hosting
Today, we are proud to introduce Iris Couch, a Couchbase spin-off and your new one-stop shop for hosted CouchDB. We are transferring the Couchbase hosting business to Iris Couch – a company founded and operated by the former Couchbase hosting team – and Iris Couch will focus solely on providing the rock-solid hosting service you deserve.
Why?
We know you’re wondering “What does this mean for me and my couches?” Relax. The name is changing, but the platform is not. Same platform. Same service. Same team. You don’t even need to touch your existing couches…the transition to Iris Couch will be seamless for you.
What is the value proposition or differentiator of Iris Couch (let’s say compared to Cloudant)?

Couchbase Server: What is This First Release?
You’ve probably read everywhere about the Couchbase Server first release.
But what is this first release of Couchbase Server?
J. Chris Anderson[1] has been kind enough to answer this question:
-
Today’s Couchbase server release is more or less just a clean build of the current Apache CouchDB including GeoCouch.
In the future we may release code before it makes it through the full Apache release process, but before we do that we want to get our Q/A infrastructure up and running.
The current version does not include yet any of the Membase elastic features. Nor does it support yet memcached protocol.
-
In the near future there will be a release offering CouchDB Map Reduce views with the Membase speed and scalability, and memcached API.
This is a huge value for existing Membase and memcached users, as now they will be able to query what they have stored, not just retrieve it by key.
-
In the long run we will have a combined product that supports the CouchDB HTTP API as well as Membase’s memcapable API.
Currently Membase has a strong set of clustering tools, but it is a plain key value store. By adding CouchDB query-ability to it, Membase users see value. A subset of CouchDB users will see value in our initial release (worry free scalability), but it won’t be until the integration work is done later this year that we offer elastic support to the full HTTP CouchDB API.

Cloudant about Couchbase Announcement
Alan Hoffman of Cloudant, the CouchDB hosting providers and creators of the BigCouch scalable CouchDB solution:
I do want to take issue with one thing said in the press release for Couchbase. They say: “Couchbase becomes the only document database capable of safely storing your data whether stored on a single server, or spread across hundreds.”
Some of our customers have billions of documents stored safely on dozens of nodes in datacenters around the world. It’s too soon to say what Couchbase will become, but if you need a safe, scalable, and easy-to-use document storage platform, our technology already provides that today
I think I’ve heard something similar before.
As a side note, I don’t know if it’s only me, but I always think that PR announcements (nb: I’m referring to Couchbase’s PR formulation) make more bad than good. I don’t have an issue with a company stating they want to create the best product that features X and Y and Z. As a possible client, I couldn’t care less if the product is the first, the last, or the only. I only care about those features that really make it useful to my problems.
