Couchbase Analytics Overview

Due to the lack of built-in analytics, many NoSQL database customers export data from their operational databases into analytical platforms that are installed and managed separately. This approach is complex to manage, costly to operate, and makes application queries across both repositories difficult and error prone. But most importantly, it creates barriers to getting real-time operational analytics. The Couchbase Server Analytics service adds analytical capabilities to Couchbase Server, enabling real-time and ad hoc analytics over operational data, all within the same Couchbase cluster.

The Couchbase Analytics service is one of the newer members of the Couchbase Data Platform family of services. This session will provide an overview of this service, which delivers parallel evaluation of analytical queries on current data with minimal impact on the operational performance of the Couchbase cluster. We will examine the architecture of the new service, describe its SQL++ based query interface, and share the roadmap for this important new capability.

Business Intelligence Over Couchbase Analytics

Couchbase Analytics, as a NoSQL document data store, offers unmatched flexibility and versatility when it comes to data storage. At the same time, new data products for BI, Analytics, Reporting, Data Warehousing, AI, and Machine Learning continue to grow rapidly. Enabling interoperability between applications and data sources, each with a unique interface and value proposition is a tremendous challenge.

To bridge the SQL to NoSQL gap, CData Software ultimately developed techniques to provide SQL access to NoSQL document data stores through their drivers, enabling data experts and developers to work with document data stores using tools and libraries that were already familiar to them. This session will cover the techniques CData used to provide a SQL interface for NoSQL data and demonstrate accessing Couchbase Analytics data in popular BI tools like Tableau and MS Power BI.
