## Database servers/services
- [Couchbase](https://www.couchbase.com/)
  > **Couchbase Server**, originally known as **Membase**, is an [open-source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software "Open-source software"), distributed ([shared-nothing architecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared-nothing_architecture "Shared-nothing architecture")) [multi-model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-model_database "Multi-model database") [NoSQL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL "NoSQL") [document-oriented database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document-oriented_database "Document-oriented database") software package optimized for interactive applications. These applications may serve many [concurrent users](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_user "Concurrent user") by creating, storing, retrieving, aggregating, manipulating and presenting data. In support of these kinds of application needs, Couchbase Server is designed to provide easy-to-scale key-value, or JSON document access, with low latency and high sustainability throughput. It is designed to be [clustered](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_(computing) "Cluster (computing)") from a single machine to very large-scale deployments spanning many machines.
