Case Study: Cars.com achieves accelerated product development and agile data management with Couchbase

Cars.com Accelerating Product Development with NoSQL

Cars.com, a leading online marketplace helping shoppers and owners through the car ownership cycle, faced rising customer expectations and needed a more flexible, scalable database to manage growing data assets, support new use cases, quickly serve consumers, and ingest massive amounts of data. After evaluating five vendors, Cars.com selected Couchbase in late 2015 to replace legacy systems and moved its first projects into production in 2016.

By deploying Couchbase, Cars.com supported data-rich vehicle listings for an inventory of 5 million vehicles, highly flexible user profiles, and product data and metrics for internal and consumer use. The platform’s flexibility and cloud/SOA alignment let the team accelerate product development, quickly launch new features—including a cutting-edge vehicle pricing application—and position the company to continuously deliver more products that meet customer expectations.
