What’s up?

Why Couchbase and ElasticSearch?How do I connect the two?What can I do with this?Does it scale?

Why use Couchbase Server?

If you don’t know this, you might be in the wrong room.

Why use ElasticSearch?

Fast full-text searchesSupports over a hundred languages

Geo-querying, scoring, facetingEasy to deploy, use and scaleHuge number of plug-insHigh buzzword count

Why these two in particular?

Both use JSON documentsComplimenting strengths:

ElasticSearch for flexible search, geolocation, analytics tools, and moreCouchbase for efficient data storage and retrieval, extremely fast response times

Couchbase uses XDCR to push data to ElasticSearchLower latency than polling, e.g. with River

Demo

Demo time!

Common use cases

Ad-hoc querying an existing Couchbase databaseGeospatial searches on dataReal-time analytics of Couchbase data

Demo

More demo time!

Putting it all together

A typical Couchbase-ElasticSearch deployment uses a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of nodes

ElasticSearch only stores indexed dataSource data stored in CouchbaseAll CRUD operations go to Couchbase

Kibana is a dashboard for real-time visualization of streaming dataTalks directly to ElasticSearchDrag-and-drop dashboard construction

No coding required

Summary

Connecting Couchbase to ElasticSearch and Kibana is awesome!Lets developers and analysts focus on what each does bestProvides a resilient, scalable data storage and BI solution
