Using Couchbase Server

Couchbase Server is a distributed NoSQL database. Couchbase is a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) based document store. Couchbase, like other NoSQL datastores, does not have a fixed schema for data storage. Couchbase differs from MongoDB in that MongoDB is based on the BSON (binary JSON) document data model. Couchbase provides a Web Console for accessing the Couchbase server from a graphical user interface (GUI). Couchbase also provides a command-line interface (CLI) including several tools to run in the CLI. In this chapter we shall run Couchbase server in a Docker container.
