The Couchbase database is available in three editions: Community Edition, Enterprise Edition and Couchbase Capella (a cloud-hosted, fully-managed database-as-a-service). Many customers start with the Community Edition to run non-critical development, testing and production workloads for free before upgrading to gain additional resources and performance. Upgrading from the Community Edition can help reduce risks, simplify management efforts, and lower overall TCO, making it easier for companies to modernize their applications. Several customer success stories demonstrate the benefits of upgrading from the Community Edition. Bublup, a productivity platform, initially used the Community Edition to build its application quickly and easily, but later upgraded to Enterprise Edition to scale with its growing user base. Quantic, a cloud-based POS startup, started with the Community Edition and then moved to Capella to handle rapid growth, providing a seamless experience for users. Hammerhead, an athletic technology company, also began with the Community Edition before upgrading to Enterprise Edition to improve performance and reliability. LinkedIn, the largest professional networking platform, migrated from Oracle and Memcached to Couchbase for its data storage needs, choosing the Enterprise Edition due to its ease of use and low latency.
