CouchBase Alternatives

Supabase is a free and open-source self-hosted and SaaS provided alternative to Firebase. With Supabase you can add a realtime REST API to a PostgreSQL without writing a single line of code.

CouchDB is a free and open-source document-oriented NoSQL database developed by the Apache Foundation. The database is written and implemented in the language Erlang and provides the use of multiple formats and protocols to store, transfer, and process data. With CouchDB you query data with JavaScript using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API. Which can be done across multiple distributed CouchDB instances as the database has the ability to synchronize multiple copies of the same database, across servers.

Fauna is the data API for client-serverless applications. It provides web-native GraphQL interface, with support for custom business logic and integration with the serverless ecosystem. Fauna transforms the traditional DBMS into a Data API that gives you all of the capabilities of traditional database, without sacrificing flexibility, scale, and performance. By utilizing a globally-distributed storage and compute fabric, Fauna-powered applications are delivered to end-users fast and reliably on modern security infrastructure.

PouchDB is a free and open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB. The database is designed from the ground-up to run well within modern web browsers. With PouchDB you can create web applications that works as well offline as they do online. PouchDB achives this by storing data locally, then synchronize it with CouchDB and compatible servers when the user get internet access once again. This is especially useful for applications facing countries and regions with lower quality internet connections or unstable infrastructure.

OrbitDB is free and open-source serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database for IPFS (Internet Planetary File System). The database is most commonly used for decentralized apps (dApps) and blockchain applications. With OrbitDB, IPFS is used for data storage, while IPFS Pubsub is used to automatically sync databases with peers across the network. Which makes OrbitDB an "eventually consistent database" that uses CRDTs for conflict-free database merges, suited for decentralization of data.

TaffyDB is a free and open source, Pure-JavaScript database abstraction that stores data in JSON format. TaffyDB provides INSERT, DELETE, GET (SELECT)  and JOIN methods to execure the data similar to that of traditional relational SQL databases. TaffyDB allows you to quickly setup an in-memory database that can be used in the same fashion as an SQLite database would, without configuration and a database server running.

WatermelonDB is a free and open-source database optimized for building complex applications in React and React Native. The goal of WatermelonDB is to provide real-world performance for apps that can scale from hundreds to tens of thousands of records and while remaining performant. Loading a full database into JavaScript can be expensive, WatermelonDB fixes this by being lazy as a default, and only loads data upon request.

NosDB is an open-source NoSQL Database that is 100% native to .NET. The database is released under the Apache 2.0 License and can be used in commercial and non-commercial projects alike. NosDB helps you accelerate your.NET development by providing a flexible JSON schema. Developers use NosDB to build projects tailored around Personalization, Content Management, Catalogs, Data Logs, Real-Time Big Data, Internet of Things, Scalable Web Apps, Scalable Web Services and more
