Couchbase has announced the general availability of its AI Data Plane, a unified data infrastructure platform designed to help enterprises deploy production-ready AI agents with persistent memory, real-time context retrieval, and secure data access across cloud, edge, and lakehouse environments.
The new platform addresses one of the biggest challenges in enterprise AI—managing data rather than AI models—by consolidating agent memory, vector search, document storage, caching, and operational data into a single governed architecture. The approach aims to reduce complexity and help organizations move from experimental AI pilots to scalable, enterprise-grade deployments.
At the core of the AI Data Plane are Agent Memory, an Agent Catalog, an enterprise-managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and an LLM cache that minimizes redundant inference requests. The platform supports major AI orchestration frameworks, including LangGraph, CrewAI, and LlamaIndex, allowing developers to build AI agents without being locked into a single framework.
Couchbase also introduced Enterprise Analytics 2.2, adding support for Apache Iceberg lakehouse federation and a new Trino adapter. The enhancements enable organizations to query operational and lakehouse data together without complex ETL processes or duplicating datasets, simplifying AI analytics and enterprise data management.
To support AI workloads beyond the data center, Couchbase unveiled updates for its edge and mobile portfolio, including Couchbase Lite 4.1, Edge Server 1.1, React Native 1.1, Sync Gateway 4.1, and Azure XDCR over Private Link. These upgrades enable AI agents to securely access synchronized data and perform local vector searches even in environments with limited or intermittent connectivity.
The company also enhanced Capella iQ, its natural-language query assistant, with support for multiple AI model providers, including AWS Bedrock and OpenAI, allowing organizations to enforce governance policies while managing AI costs and data residency requirements.
According to Couchbase, the AI Data Plane provides a single operational layer for enterprise AI applications, enabling organizations to simplify infrastructure, improve governance, and support high-performance AI agents across cloud, edge, and hybrid environments.
