# Is Couchbase is right choice with ejabberd?

I am using Ejabberd as an [application server](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/908/what-is-application-server) for message [forwarding](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/342320/how-digital-innovation-is-reshaping-freight-forwarding-services) and offline [storage](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44536/finding-your-self-storage-facility), roster, [user profile](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160226/how-to-extend-the-default-user-profile-information-in-asp-dot-net-core-identity) ,but i am very confuse about [database](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12226/use-of-database-in-sencha-extjs-and-insert-record-from-user-form-using-ajax) [selection](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/60/populate-records-in-second-listbox-according-to-the-selection-in-first-list-box), since Mnesia is only used for small data set, which database would recommend to use as a Offline storage providing high scalablity low [latency](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/34441/what-is-latency-in-software), fast read/ write? Is couchbase or couchDB is right choice ?

Hi allen,\
I have asked same question on stackoverflow a week back, Processone founder and lead team member of Ejabbered Mr. Mickaël Rémond replied on that : \

```
Couchbase or CouchDB are not supported by ejabberd but you have plenty of good alternative storage for large databases: MySQL, Postgres, Riak.You can even use different type of backends for different type of data to suit the specific needs of your project.
```
