# Couchbase Providers

### Ortus Couchbase Extension

[Ortus Solutions](http://www.ortussolutions.com/products/couchbase-railo), the makers of CacheBox, have created a commercial extension for the open source CFML engines Railo and Lucee to support caching distribution features via Couchbase (<https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/couchbase-lucee>).

> The Ortus Couchbase Extension is a Railo Server Extension that allows your server to natively connect to a Couchbase NoSQL Server cluster and leverage it for built-in caching, session/client storage and distribution, and much more. With our extension you will be able to scale and extend your Railo CFML applications with ease.

The extension will enhance your Lucee server with some of the following [capabilities](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/couchbase-lucee):

* Store session/client variables in a distributed Couchbase cluster
* Get rid of sticky session load balancers, come to the round-robin world!
* Session/client variable persistence even after Railo restarts
* Ability to leverage the RAM resource virtual file system as a cluster-wide file system
* Cache connection capabilities for providing distributed & highly scalable query, object, template, function caching
* [Much more](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/couchbase-lucee)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cachebox.ortusbooks.com/7.x-1/usage/cache-providers/couchbase-providers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
