Couchbase Capella to Accelerate Agentic AI Application Development with NVIDIA AI

Capella AI Services Help Organizations Build, Deploy and Evolve AI-powered Applications with NVIDIA NIM

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Couchbase, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASE), the developer data platform for critical applications in our AI world, today announced that its Capella AI Model Services have integrated NVIDIA NIM microservices, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, to streamline deployment of AI-powered applications, providing enterprises a powerful solution for privately running generative (GenAI) models.

Capella AI Model Services, which were recently introduced as part of a comprehensive Capella AI Services offering for streamlining the development of agentic applications, provide managed endpoints for LLMs and embedding models so enterprises can meet privacy, performance, scalability and latency requirements within their organizational boundary. Capella AI Model Services, powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, minimize latency by bringing AI closer to the data, combining GPU-accelerated performance and enterprise-grade security to empower organizations to seamlessly operate their AI workloads. The collaboration enhances Capella's agentic AI and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities, allowing customers to efficiently power high-throughput AI-powered applications while maintaining model flexibility.

"Enterprises require a unified and highly performant data platform to underpin their AI efforts and support the full application lifecycle – from development through deployment and optimization," said Matt McDonough, SVP of product and partners at Couchbase. "By integrating NVIDIA NIM microservices into Capella AI Model Services, we're giving customers the flexibility to run their preferred AI models in a secure and governed way, while providing better performance for AI workloads and seamless integration of AI with transactional and analytical data. Capella AI Services allow customers to accelerate their RAG and agentic applications with confidence, knowing they can scale and optimize their applications as business needs evolve."

Capella Delivers Fully Integrated User Experience with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Enabling Flexible, Scalable AI Model Deployment

Enterprises building and deploying high-throughput AI applications can face challenges with ensuring agent reliability and compliance, as unreliable AI responses can damage brand reputation. PII data leaks can violate privacy regulations and managing multiple specialized databases can create unsustainable operational overhead. Couchbase is helping address these challenges with Capella AI Model Services, which streamline agent application development and operations by keeping models and data colocated in a unified platform, facilitating agentic operations as they happen. For example, agent conversation transcripts must be captured and compared in real time to elevate model response accuracy. Capella also delivers built-in capabilities like semantic caching, guardrail creation and agent monitoring with RAG workflows.

Capella AI Model Services with NVIDIA NIM provides Couchbase customers a cost-effective solution that accelerates agent delivery by simplifying model deployment while maximizing resource utilization and performance. The solution leverages pre-tested LLMs and tools including NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails to help organizations accelerate AI development while enforcing policies and safeguards against AI hallucinations. NVIDIA's rigorously tested, production-ready NIM microservices are optimized for reliability and fine-tuned for specific business needs.

"Integrating NVIDIA AI software into Couchbase's Capella AI Model Services enables developers to quickly deploy, scale and optimize applications," said Anne Hecht, senior director of enterprise software at NVIDIA. "Access to NVIDIA NIM microservices further accelerates AI deployment with optimized models, delivering low-latency performance and security for real-time intelligent applications."

Couchbase is a silver sponsor at NVIDIA GTC, taking place in San Jose, CA. To learn more about how Couchbase's work with NVIDIA accelerates agentic AI application development, stop by booth 2004.
