What Hacker News says?
The main difference is the consistency model: https://blog.couchbase.com/10-things-developers-should-know-... Whereas CockroachDB aims to be strongly consistent. This makes life for the application developer much easier.

HN discussionAt Couchbase we did a survey of developers (this was ages ago) and the biggest motivator for NoSQL was schema flexibility. Not having to coordinate migrations is seen as a productivity boost. [1] The other thing document databases can offer that relational databases struggle with is taking subsets (which we use for offline sync.)

HN discussionOne thing that become much easier with the JSON document model is sync, which is a valuable abstraction over the network layer. http://blog.couchbase.com/why-mobile-sync Another thing that you win with the document model is lots of primary key lookups, making it easy to model your data access around your hot path. http://blog.couchbase.com/performance-oriented-architecture

HN discussionNot just a local db but an eventually consistent cache of remote whose data can be mutated offline and synced back into remote with some kind of conflict resolution. Examples here: http://offlinefirst.org/sync/ In the context of GraphQL I'm talking about a GraphQL client that has offline caching and supports syncing offline mutations.

HN discussionThis is part of what we are addressing with Couchbase Server, an autosharding rebalancing Couch fronted by memcached. For K/V read and write we measure microsecond latency. We are currently optimizing the views for cluster access, but the design goal is to offer at least the query performance CouchDB offers on small datasets, even on very large clusters.
