Capella iQ Will Use Natural Language
Processing to Enable Developers to Build Modern Applications Faster
and Easier in Capella
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Aug. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Couchbase, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASE),
the cloud database platform company, today announced it is
introducing generative AI capabilities into its
Database-as-a-Service Couchbase Capella™ to significantly enhance
developer productivity and accelerate time to market for modern
applications. The new capability called Capella iQ enables
developers to write SQL++ and application-level code more quickly
by delivering recommended sample code. Couchbase also announced
additional Capella updates that further enhance the developer
experience, increase efficiency and ease operations.
Managing the full lifecycle of an application puts pressure on
developers and adds friction to their workflow, which can slow down
productivity. At the same time, developer productivity has never
been more important given the demand for and potential of AI
applications. Powered by generative AI, Capella iQ uses foundation
models to add intelligence to the Capella developer workbench
integrated development environment (IDE). With Capella iQ,
developers can use natural language to quickly and easily generate
code, sample datasets and unit tests. Capella iQ also advises on
index creation, search syntax and other programmatic access to
Capella. Leveraging generative AI to build and test applications
quicker in Capella delivers higher productivity and quality,
resulting in faster time to market.
"The familiarity of SQL++ as the query language was already a
great tool to help developers who are new to Capella get up to
speed quickly. Capella iQ will take those productivity gains even
further and save my team and me tons of time," said Brant Burnett, systems architect at CenterEdge.
"Having a co-pilot like Capella iQ in the developer workbench makes
it so much faster for teams to build modern apps on Capella so
developers can do what they love, which is building amazing
apps."
"Code that used to take hours for a developer to write will now
be generated in a matter of minutes in sample sets from Capella
iQ," said Scott Anderson, SVP of
product management and business operations at Couchbase. "This
makes developers more efficient when building modern apps,
ultimately accelerating innovation for customers. By incorporating
generative AI into our fully managed DBaaS, we are making it easier
for developers to get started with Capella and significantly boost
their productivity."

Building for the Future of AI Applications
Couchbase's mission is to simplify how developers and architects
develop, deploy and run modern applications wherever they are. The
company delivers a high performance and scalable cloud database
platform upon which next-gen applications can be built, such as
fraud detection, product catalog recommendations,
predictive analytics and more.
"From day one, Couchbase has architected a cloud database
platform that enables the most business-critical and demanding
applications to perform and provide rich, personalized,
differentiated experiences for end users. Combining operational and
analytical capabilities, our multi-model platform also seamlessly
integrates advanced services like indexing, eventing, full-text
search and more in a single solution," said Matt Cain, chair, president and CEO of
Couchbase. "Generative AI is the next great catalyst for modern
applications and our customers are exploring ways to build
AI-powered apps that can run anywhere with our platform."
For example, Capella App Services enables edge AI through a
predictive query API, which allows mobile applications to use
trained machine learning models to run predictive queries locally
on mobile devices against stored data. Additionally, Couchbase
customers can use Python user-defined functions to run models
against the database.
"We are innovating and building for the exciting generative AI
market opportunity by driving developer productivity with Capella
iQ, expanding our multi-model functions, optimizing AI processing
and enabling AI apps from cloud to edge while also building a
vibrant AI partner ecosystem," continued Cain. "Couchbase has been
uniquely built for this moment and we are investing in additional
AI capabilities that will further extend the value of Couchbase as
a cloud database platform for modern applications."
In addition to investing in product innovation for an AI-powered
future, Couchbase believes that a robust partner ecosystem is
required to accelerate AI for organizations. Today, the company
also announced the Couchbase AI Accelerate Partner Program,
designed to make it easier for customers to build AI-powered
applications with Capella and support integrations with the broader
AI and data ecosystem.
Additional Capella Enhancements
Couchbase today also announced several other new updates to
Capella that further enhance the developer experience, increase
efficiency and make it easier to operate the cloud database
platform. The customer benefits include:
- Simplified developer experience: Couchbase is extending
Capella to more of the developer platform ecosystem highly favored
by frontend and full stack developers. New integrations with
popular developer tools Vercel and the IntelliJ family of IDEs
further reduce friction for developers and development teams.
- More intelligent operations: By dynamically scaling the
disk storage and input/output operations per second (IOPS), Capella
clusters can handle growing workloads more efficiently, resulting
in faster response times with an improved user experience. The
increased disk IOPS enables Capella clusters to handle higher
levels of concurrent read and write operations. This ensures that
applications remain highly available even during peak usage periods
and contributes further to Capella's best-in-class price
performance.
- Increased security and governance: Capella has achieved
independent validation for PCI DSS 4.0 and CSA STAR Level 2
compliance. These enhancements complement the SOC 2 Type II and
HIPAA compliance that Couchbase Capella has already achieved,
meeting broad enterprise requirements for cloud applications.
These new enhancements are generally available in Capella. Visit
