Couchbase, creator of a commercial variant of the NoSQL CouchDB database, has earned praise for giving MongoDB -- and CouchDB -- stiff competition.
But Couchbase isn't resting on its laurels, so the new Couchbase Server 3.0 sports two major new features -- and one preview of an upcoming feature -- designed to improve performance and make Couchbase a more attractive NoSQL solution.
In many ways, the preview feature is the most forward-looking of the new offerings. Called ForestDB, it's a new storage engine for all incarnations of Couchbase.
