Couchbase C++ SDK Now Generally Available

Couchbase has announced the general availability of their C++ SDK, expanding the range of programming languages supported by the NoSQL database.

The release of the C++ SDK may seem unusual in an era dominated by languages like Python, NodeJS, and Ruby. However, it’s essential to note that many of these languages rely on the C++ SDK to connect with Couchbase. As such, making the SDK publicly available offers several advantages inherent to low-level languages like C++.

Performance and Seamless Integration

One of the primary benefits of the C++ SDK is its performance. C++ is renowned for its speed and low-level memory management, making it ideal for applications where performance is critical. The SDK provides seamless integration with Couchbase Server, enabling developers to easily perform operations like KV operations, SQL++ queries, and transactions.

Modern API Design and Intuitive Learning Curve

The SDK features a modern, idiomatic API that aligns with the latest C++ standards. This makes it not only powerful but also intuitive for C++ developers, reducing the learning curve and allowing them to start building applications quickly.

Key Features and Capabilities

Hooking into the SDK gets you:

Easy connection management
Key-Value (KV) operation support
Query search
Vector search support
Full text search (FTS)
Asynchronous programming
Transactions
Robust error handling

To get started with the Couchbase C++ SDK, you’ll need a C++ 17 compiler and CPM.cmake to include it in your project. Then, you can perform operations like retrieving a document, modifying its contents, and replacing it.
