⚡ Event-Driven Data Migration with Eventing Migrating data doesn’t have to feel like resurrecting zombies. With Couchbase’s Eventing Service, developers can now perform real-time transformations as documents move from one collection to another. Think of it as migration magic: rename fields, flatten structures, and enrich your data the moment it arrives. No bulky ETL pipelines, no dark rituals — just clean, transformed data ready for production in Capella. Learn the pattern >>
🌐 Get Started with the Data API When you need something fast and simple, the Couchbase Data API lets you work directly with data over REST — no SDKs, no setup, just clean HTTP calls. It’s perfect for serverless environments, microservices, or quick experiments that call for flexibility. Enable the API in Capella, grab your endpoint, and start making requests faster than you can say “curl -X POST.” Try it out >>
