MongoDB to Couchbase for Developers, Part 1: Architecture

Introduction

With this article on MongoDB to Couchbase comparison, I'm starting a new, detailed series for MongoDB developers to learn Couchbase by comparison. Two years ago, I wrote a single high-level comparative article on MongoDB and Couchbase.  I recommend you read that for a bird's view comparison. Both MongoDB and Couchbase have done multiple major releases since then, and developers need a deeper treatment of topics. As developers know, the devil is in the details :-) 

This series will be similar to the series for Oracle developers to learn Couchbase by comparison, but for MongoDB developers.
