+**FastAPI** can also be integrated with any <abbr title="Distributed database (Big Data), also 'Not Only SQL'">NoSQL</abbr>.
+
+Here we'll see an example using **<a href="https://www.couchbase.com/" target="_blank">Couchbase</a>**, a <abbr title="Document here refers to a JSON object (a dict), with keys and values, and those values can also be other JSON objects, arrays (lists), numbers, strings, booleans, etc.">document</abbr> based NoSQL database.
+
+You can adapt it to any other NoSQL database like:
+
+* **MongoDB**
+* **Cassandra**
+* **CouchDB**
+* **ArangoDB**
+* **ElasticSearch**, etc.
+
+## Import Couchbase components
+
+For now, don't pay attention to the rest, only the imports:
+
+```Python hl_lines="6 7 8"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+## Define a constant to use as a "document type"
+
+We will use it later as a fixed field `type` in our documents.
+
+This is not required by Couchbase, but is a good practice that will help you afterwards.
+
+```Python hl_lines="10"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+## Add a function to get a `Bucket`
+
+In **Couchbase**, a bucket is a set of documents, that can be of different types.
+
+They are generally all related to the same application.
+
+The analogy in the relational database world would be a "database" (a specific database, not the database server).
+
+The analogy in **MongoDB** would be a "collection".
+
+In the code, a `Bucket` represents the main entrypoint of communication with the database.
+
+This utility function will:
+
+* Connect to a **Couchbase** cluster (that might be a single machine).
+* Authenticate in the cluster.
+* Get a `Bucket` instance.
+* Return it.
+
+```Python hl_lines="13 14 15 16 17 18"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+## Create Pydantic models
+
+As **Couchbase** "documents" are actually just "JSON objects", we can model them with Pydantic.
+
+### `User` model
+
+First, let's create a `User` model:
+
+```Python hl_lines="21 22 23 24 25"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+We will use this model in our path operation function, so, we don't include in it the `hashed_password`.
+
+### `UserInDB` model
+
+Now, let's create a `UserInDB` model.
+
+This will have the data that is actually stored in the database.
+
+In Couchbase, each document has a document <abbr title="Identification">ID</abbr> or "key".
+
+But it is not part of the document itself.
+
+It is stored as "metadata" of the document.
+
+So, to be able to have that document ID as part of our model without it being part of the attributes (document contents), we can do a simple trick.
+
+We can create an internal `class`, in this case named `Meta`, and declare the extra attribute(s) in that class.
+
+This class doesn't have any special meaning and doesn't provide any special functionality other than not being directly an attribute of our main model:
+
+```Python hl_lines="28 29 30 31 32 33"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+This `Meta` class won't be included when we generate a `dict` from our model, but we will be able to access it's data with something like:
+
+```Python
+my_user.Meta.key
+```
+
+!!! note
+    Notice that we have a `hashed_password` and a `type` field that will be stored in the database.
+    
+    But it is not part of the general `User` model (the one we will return in the path operation).
+
+
+## Get the user
+
+Now create a function that will:
+
+* Take a username.
+* Generate a document ID from it.
+* Get the document with that ID.
+* Put the contents of the document in a `UserInDB` model.
+* Add the extracted document `key` to our model.
+
+By creating a function that is only dedicated to getting your user from a `username` (or any other parameter) independent of your path operation function, you can more easily re-use it in multiple parts and also add <abbr title="Automated test, written in code, that checks if another piece of code is working correctly.">unit tests</abbr> for it:
+
+```Python hl_lines="36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+### f-strings
+    
+If you are not familiar with the `f"userprofile::{username}"`, it is a Python "<a href="https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-f-string" target="_blank">f-string</a>".
+
+Any variable that is put inside of `{}` in an f-string will be expanded / injected in the string.
+
+### `dict` unpacking
+
+If you are not familiar with the `UserInDB(**result.value)`, <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-argument" target="_blank">it is using `dict` "unpacking"</a>.
+
+It will take the `dict` at `result.value`, and take each of its keys and values and pass them as key-values to `UserInDB` as keyword arguments.
+
+So, if the `dict` contains:
+
+```Python
+{
+    "username": "johndoe",
+    "hashed_password": "some_hash",
+}
+```
+
+It will be passed to `UserInDB` as:
+
+```Python
+UserInDB(username="johndoe", hashed_password="some_hash")
+```
+
+## Create your **FastAPI** code
+
+### Create the `FastAPI` app
+
+```Python hl_lines="47"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+### Create the path operation function
+
+As our code is calling Couchbase and we are not using the <a href="https://docs.couchbase.com/python-sdk/2.5/async-programming.html#asyncio-python-3-5" target="_blank">experimental Python <code>await</code> support</a>, we should declare our function with normal `def` instead of `async def`.
+
+Also, Couchbase recommends not using a single `Bucket` object in multiple "<abbr title="A sequence of code being executed by the program, while at the same time, or at intervals, there can be others being executed too.">thread</abbr>s", so, we can get just get the bucket directly and pass it to our utility functions:
+
+```Python hl_lines="50 51 52 53 54"
+{!./tutorial/src/nosql-databases/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+## Recap
+
+You can integrate any third party NoSQL database, just using their standard packages.
+
+The same applies to any other external tool, system or API.
