About this Site

If you are looking for horizontally scalable sub-millisecond latency in a database, Couchbase is your answer.

Couchbase is an evolutionary product from the founders of memcache and CouchDB that combined the speed of memcache (membase server) with the document persistence, power and flexibility of CouchDB. With in-memory optimization along with distributed storage, redundancy, and failover, you have the complete scalable package.

This site was made with Ruby, Rails, Bootstrap and Couchbase with the help of a handful of gems:

couchbase

The "smart client" gem for interacting with Couchbase 1.8+ servers, the developer preview editions are designed for the upcoming Couchbase 2.0

dalli

This simple gem by Mike Pernham is used to implement Rails.cache with Couchbaes (via memcache), until I use the new couchbase gem for Couchbase 2.0

yettings

A handy gem for application settings in a yaml file made available globally

map

Ara T Howards great gem for a Hash subclass that's better than using .with_indifferent_access

omniauth

What would we do without this awesome gem?

omniauth-github

The module specifically for Github auth

bootstrap-sass

Essentially converts the wonderful Twitter Bootstrap HTML/Less-CSS framework into Sass.

CouchbaseModels.com is unofficial, and thus is not supported directly by Couchbase, Inc. It seemed like it would be good to share what I have learned in the last 8 months so that others could progress in their use of Document based NoSQL using Couchbase with as little friction as possible. So I made this with the hope of getting collaborators and building an awesome resource!
