+## Example app using Couchbase
+
+[Couchbase](https://www.couchbase.com/) is a modern database for enterprise applications. This example will show you how to connect to and use Couchbase in your Next.js app.
+
+If you want to learn more about Couchbase, visit the following pages:
+
+- [Couchbase Docs](https://docs.couchbase.com/)
+- [Couchbase Developer Portal](https://developer.couchbase.com/)
+- [Couchbase Cloud](https://cloud.couchbase.com/sign-up)
+
+## Preview
+
+Preview the example live on [StackBlitz](http://stackblitz.com/):
+
+[![Open in StackBlitz](https://developer.stackblitz.com/img/open_in_stackblitz.svg)](https://stackblitz.com/github/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-couchbase)
+
+## Deploy your own
+
+Once you have access to the environment variables you'll need, deploy the example using [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example):
+
+[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/git/external?repository-url=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-couchbase&project-name=with-couchbase&repository-name=with-couchbase&env=COUCHBASE_USER,COUCHBASE_PASSWORD,COUCHBASE_ENDPOINT,COUCHBASE_BUCKET,IS_CLOUD_INSTANCE&envDescription=Required%20to%20connect%20the%20app%20with%20Couchbase)
+
+## How to use
+
+Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init) or [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/) to bootstrap the example:
+
+```bash
+npx create-next-app --example with-couchbase with-couchbase-app
+# or
+yarn create next-app --example with-couchbase with-couchbase-app
+```
+
+Deploy it to the cloud with [Vercel](https://vercel.com/new?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)).
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Set up a Couchbase database
+
+Set up a Couchbase database either locally or with [Couchbase Cloud](https://cloud.couchbase.com/sign-up).
+
+Local installation can be accomplished through a variety of methods, but [Docker](https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/install/getting-started-docker.html) is the simplest.
+
+After Couchbase is installed, set up a cluster by following [this tutorial](https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/manage/manage-nodes/create-cluster.html).
+
+- _NOTE:_ the **eventing** and **analytics** services can be unchecked if memory is a constraint (this is often the case with docker and other local installations).
+
+A variety of sample buckets can be installed to get up and running with a data model quickly.
+
+### Set up environment variables
+
+Copy the `env.local.example` file in this directory to `.env.local` (which will be ignored by Git):
+
+```bash
+cp .env.local.example .env.local
+```
+
+Set each variable on `.env.local`:
+
+- `COUCHBASE_USERNAME` - The username of an authorized user on your Couchbase instance
+- `COUCHBASE_PASSWORD` - The corresponding password for the username specified above
+- `COUCHBASE_ENDPOINT` - The endpoint to connect to. Use `localhost` for a local instance of Couchbase, or the Wide Area Network address for a cloud instance.
+- `COUCHBASE_BUCKET` - The bucket you'd like to connect to for testing.
+- `IS_CLOUD_INSTANCE` - `true` if you are trying to connect to an instance of Couchbase Cloud, `false` otherwise.
+
+### Run Next.js in development mode
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run dev
+# or
+yarn install
+yarn dev
+```
+
+Your app should be up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)! If it doesn't work, post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions).
+
+You will either see a message stating "You are connected to Couchbase" or "You are NOT connected to Couchbase". Ensure that you have provided the correct environment variables.
+
+When you are successfully connected, you can refer to the [Couchbase Node.js SDK docs](https://docs.couchbase.com/nodejs-sdk/current/hello-world/start-using-sdk.html) for further instructions on how to query your database.
+
+## Deploy on Vercel
+
+You can deploy this app to the cloud with [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)).
+
+#### Deploy Your Local Project
+
+To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and [import to Vercel](https://vercel.com/new?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example).
+
+## Notes
+
+- When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on **Environment Variables** and set the keys to match your `.env.local` file.
+
+- For a cloud deployment on Vercel, the **Environment Variables** values will need to **correspond to a cloud instance of Couchbase** (localhost will **NOT** connect from a remote server such as Vercel). Find info on [getting started with Couchbase cloud](https://developer.couchbase.com/tutorial-cloud-getting-started/).
+
+ - _Important:_ you will have to allowlist 0.0.0.0/0 as the IP address, since Vercel's serverless deployments use [dynamic IP addresses](https://vercel.com/docs/solutions/databases#allowing-&-blocking-ip-addresses)
