Why It Matters

The Business Case for Flexibility

Vendor Neutrality & Avoiding Lock-In

Couchbase allows you to deploy on any cloud or infrastructure, offering true vendor independence. This freedom ensures you're not locked into a single cloud provider’s ecosystem, allowing you to:

  • Optimize pricing across providers
  • Maintain business continuity during cloud outages
  • Switch providers based on strategic and compliance needs
  • Optimize pricing across providers
  • Maintain business continuity during cloud outages
Cost Optimization

Different workloads have different infrastructure requirements. With Couchbase, you can:

  • Deploy cost-sensitive workloads on affordable public cloud instances
  • Retain mission-critical data in private or on-prem environments
  • Move compute-heavy processes to clouds with the best pricing models

This strategic flexibility enables better utilization of infrastructure resources, reduced total cost of ownership (TCO), and optimized operational expenses (OpEx).

Regulatory & Data Residency Compliance

With rising global regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA, and India's Data Protection Act), businesses often need to retain certain data within specific jurisdictions. Couchbase makes it easy to pin data to compliant zones and replicate or mask it across locations when required—ensuring both data sovereignty and compliance readiness.

Operational Resilience and Uptime Guarantees

Downtime is not just a technical issue—it’s a business risk. With Couchbase's hybrid multi-cloud architecture, you can distribute workloads and replicas across multiple availability zones, data centers, or cloud providers, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance. Even if one provider or region experiences an outage, your services continue to run smoothly, preserving business continuity and customer trust.
