const bucket = cluster.bucket('travel.sample');
const collection = bucket.defaultCollection();
await collection.upsert('user_1024', {
'name' : 'Don Chamberlin',
'tags' : ['SQL', 'SQL++']
})
const result = await collection.get('user_1024');
console.log(result);
Developer-friendly data platform
Couchbase Capella™ DBaaS combines the schema flexibility of JSON documents with the ease of AI-assisted coding to help developers build distributed, transactional, analytical, mobile, and AI applications in their favorite languages.

SELECT
a.name,
COUNT(r.airline) AS numberOfRoutes
FROM 'travel-sample'. inventory.route AS r
JOIN 'travel-sample'. inventory.route AS a ON KEYS r.airlineid
WHERE a.country = "United States"
GROUP BY a.name
ORDER BY numberOfRoutes DESC;
Versatility without complexity
Couchbase does the work of multiple databases, including key-value, JSON, SQL, text and vector search, graph, time series, eventing, agent creation, and columnar analytics. This simplifies your data architecture without sacrificing features for your AI-powered agentic applications.

// key/value
await collection.upsert('destination:1000', { name: 'Paris' });
// full text search
const result = await cluster.searchQuery("travel-fts-index",
couchbase.SearchQuery.match('Eiffel Tower'), { limit: 10 }
);
// SQL++
const sqlQuery = 'SELECT name FROM `travel` WHERE country = "France"';
const sqlResult = await cluster.query(sqlQuery);
AI services for agentic applications
Capella takes the stress out of building AI agents with new services for secure model hosting, vectorization, preparing unstructured data, and reusing agents from a catalog. These services complement Capella’s support for vector storage and search, and make agent creation and validation a reality.

my_prompt, "type": "system"}]},
