Capella Columnar Service on AWS Can Eliminate
the Latency Gap Between Analytics and Operations
LAS
VEGAS, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Couchbase, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASE), the cloud database platform
company, today announced a new Capella columnar service on Amazon
Web Services (AWS) at AWS re:Invent 2023, enabling organizations to
harness real-time analytics to build adaptive applications. Capella
columnar is a new service that introduces a columnar store and data
integration into the Capella Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), thereby
allowing for real-time data analysis on the same platform as
operational workloads. By converging operational and real-time
analytic applications into one database platform, Couchbase removes
friction to deliver a premium customer experience. For more

"To gain a competitive advantage and accelerate business
opportunities, organizations are investing in real-time, adaptive
applications that are contextual, hyper-personalized and
intelligent. Real-time analytics are paramount to delivering these
adaptive applications, and AI is making them even better and more
strategic," said Scott Anderson, SVP
of product management and business operations at Couchbase. "With
columnar in our Capella DBaaS, for the first time organizations can
easily build adaptive applications powered by real-time analytics
in a single JSON-based platform. We are eliminating the latency gap
that has forever existed between analytics and operational
databases while making it easier for development teams to include
the required real-time analytic measures into their adaptive
applications."
According to Forrester Research1, "Moving
data from transactional systems to operational systems and then to
analytical systems is a barrier to making better decisions faster.
Disparate data stacks also compromise the delivery of timely data
to various applications, operational systems and into the analytics
workflow, resulting in missed business opportunities." The
acceleration of AI creates an even greater challenge because having
disparate database platforms introduces complexity that confuses
the models being trained to power the application. Capella columnar
solves these problems as it allows users to perform operational and
real-time analytical processing with compelling performance and
speed, all in one uniquely architected platform. Furthermore, both
the application and the user benefit by experiencing no latency and
receiving a more seamless, premium experience.
With the new Capella columnar service, customers can:
- Improve agility and performance. Capella columnar works
within a Capella-powered application to enable fast, schemaless
ingestion without having to perform extract, transform and load
(ETL). The service can distribute data from operational workloads
to perform real-time analytics on operational data and then
immediately influence application behavior with that information.
In addition, the separation of compute and storage means Capella
columnar can rapidly scale to meet changing application or
analytical needs.
- Stream ingestion from enterprise data sources in real
time. With Capella columnar, operational analytics are not
limited to only operational data because users can include external
JSON, relational, streaming and other datasets from SaaS
applications or other database management sources. Capella columnar
can analyze a true variety of data in a simple, single statement.
For example, it can analyze data from Couchbase, S3, BSON,
Cassandra, DynamoDB and MySQL all in the same statement.
- Increase ease of use for developers. Capella columnar
uses the same SQL++ query language across operational and real-time
analytic applications. This means that developers who already know
SQL can easily build applications on a single platform with a
single query language instead of having to use two different query
languages. The new service also features natural language-powered
Capella iQ as a SQL++ co-pilot for faster coding.
- Reduce complexity and cost. By converging operational
and real-time analytics in one data platform, customers can achieve
more with Capella and with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
instead of absorbing the cost of one database platform for
operational workloads and another for near-real-time analytics. In
addition, teams converting JSON data to traditional analytic
databases will no longer need to go through a complex conversion
process.
Capella columnar leverages AWS services as an integral part of
the product architecture including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
(Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon
Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Managed Streaming
for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) and AWS Secrets Manager.
Couchbase is attending AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas, November
27-December 1, 2023. Attendees can visit booth number 1095
to see a demo of Capella columnar and learn more about Capella for
building adaptive applications.
