Open Source Projects

Open Source at Couchbase is instrumental for our users, below are the many projects that will aid you in getting started with the technology of your choice.

Couchbase Server

The core server of the Couchbase distributed JSON document database.

Couchbase Server is built from multiple components, each hosted in their own git repository. We use the repo tool to manage these multiple repositories and how they should be built. A repo manifest file defines how the source code combines to become an individual release.

Server Resources

Couchbase Server SDKs

Couchbase Mobile

A native document database for mobile and embedded devices and components to sync to Couchbase Server.

Couchbase Lite

Store and sync JSON documents on iOS, Android (as well as other Java SE environments) and .NET environments. Below are the projects used in conjunction with Couchbase Lite for various platforms and languages.

How to contribute code

Whether you have a fix for a typo in a component, a bugfix, or a new feature, we'd love to collaborate.

It takes a lot of work to get from a potential new bug fix or feature idea to well-tested shipping code, and we'd want to help you get there.
