Couchbase is an open-source, distributed key-value based NoSQL database. It comes in two flavors: Enterprise Edition (EE) and Community Edition (CE). Usually first to be released with new updates and bug fixes after testing and QA processes, the Enterprise Edition is the most up-to-date edition of Couchbase. Following suit, the Community Edition gets released shortly afterwards.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS.
