Each edition offers different features and levels of support.

Enterprise Edition::
The Enterprise edition (EE) represents the latest, most stable, production-ready release of Couchbase Server.
We recommend the Enterprise Edition binaries for commercial production systems running Couchbase Server.
The Enterprise Edition contains some unique features that make it the best fit for production deployments running in data centers or a public cloud infrastructure.
== Enterprise Edition

The Enterprise Edition license provides for free for development and testing for Couchbase Enterprise Edition. A paid subscription for production deployment is required. Refer to the https://www.couchbase.com/pricing[pricing^] page for details on Couchbase's Enterprise Edition.

One important principle for Community Edition and Enterprise Edition is to ensure full portability of applications between two editions.
The capabilities ensure that an application running on Enterprise Edition should simply transition to Community Edition without code changes, and visa versa.

Community Edition::
== Community Edition
The Community Edition (CE) is best for noncommercial developers where basic availability, performance, scale, tooling, security capabilities and community support is sufficient.

The Community Edition license provides for free deployment of Couchbase Community Edition for departmental-scale deployments of up to five node clusters. The Community Edition license has recently been updated to disallow use of XDCR, which is now an exclusive Enterprise Edition feature.
