Case Study: Cox Automotive achieves accelerated performance and scales to 50–100M vehicles per day with Couchbase

Cox Automotive accelerates the pace with Couchbase

HomeNet Automotive, a division of Cox Automotive—one of the leading providers of vehicle remarketing, digital marketing and software solutions—manages online inventory and marketing for dealers. The team needed to scale beyond an original 6 million-car design to process 50–100 million vehicles per day and meet very high-throughput, non‑transactional data demands that outgrew their SQL Server hardware.

HomeNet deployed Couchbase four years ago, initially as a cache and later as the system of record; Couchbase’s speed, flexibility and operational reliability, plus features like XDCR and N1QL, enabled the required scalability and throughput. The result was the performance and dependability needed to handle massive vehicle volumes, making Couchbase the company’s preferred NoSQL solution.
