FAQPage Schema
When should I use Couchbase Capella Analytics instead of the embedded Analytics Service?

Use Couchbase Capella Analytics instead of the embedded Analytics Service when you need fast, isolated analytical querying over large datasets without impacting your operational cluster's transactional workloads.

How do I query Couchbase collections for OLAP-style reporting with SQL++?

You query Couchbase collections for OLAP-style reporting by applying SQL++ query patterns within Capella Analytics to run heavy aggregations, joins, and window functions on your linked data.

Can I connect BI tools like Tableau and Power BI to Capella Analytics?

Yes, you can connect BI tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Looker to Capella Analytics to perform OLAP-style reporting and analysis directly over your large-scale Couchbase data.

Does Capella Analytics support querying external data sources like S3?

Yes, Capella Analytics supports querying external data sources like S3, allowing you to integrate and analyze data alongside your linked operational Couchbase clusters using SQL++.

What is the best way to run heavy aggregations on Couchbase data without affecting transactional workloads?

The best way to run heavy aggregations without affecting transactional workloads is designing a standalone Capella Analytics setup to isolate your analytical querying from your operational cluster.

Do I need to link my operational Couchbase cluster to use Capella Analytics?

You need to link your operational Couchbase cluster to Capella Analytics to query its collections, though you can also configure standalone columnar analytics instances or connect external S3 data sources.
