In preparation for National Cloud Database Day and Couchbase’s presentation at Cloud Field Day next week, Stephen Foskett provides an overview of cloud databases, discussing the definition, benefits, and considerations businesses should take when implementing this technology. Cloud databases offer a flexible and scalable data management solution that can be accessed from anywhere, making it an ideal option in today’s remote work environment. While there are several factors to consider, such as database technology, security, and maintenance, understanding these considerations can help organizations choose the right approach to meet their specific needs.
