NoSQL Merger - CouchOne + Membase = CouchBase

Exciting new yesterday, as it was announced that two big open source NoSQL heavyweights had decided to join forces.

Both teams showed that they were each dominant in seperate but complimentary areas of the database space. We can really see the synergies from where we sit, having worked with a number of NoSQL solutions for a while.

One thing that excites us about this offering is that it's going to bring rock-solid performance and expansion to the NoSQL paragdim built-it. No messing about trying to integrate different solutions to achieve the result.

We'll be keeping a close eye on CouchBase over the coming months, and no doubt will be kicking the tyres of the first release.
