Using Couchbase at DIRECTV for Microservices (Large Scale) and Lessons Learned

Running a microservices environment at enterprise-scale is quite challenging – you’re deploying hundreds of services that need to perform well, and to succeed you need to maximize the efficiency of your infrastructure as soon as possible. At AT&T Entertainment Group, principal engineer Fidencio Garrido and team learned that to keep innovating they needed to have a set of common practices to help them stay focused on building the next big thing instead of constantly firefighting. In this session, Garrido will share some of the practices that his team developed to fine tune its development stack, including Node.js, N1QL, efficient I/O, and more.

Exploring Kubernetes Operators for Automated App Management

Automating complex, stateful applications is the next frontier for Kubernetes. This talk will give an overview of Operators, a way to manage Kubernetes-native applications in a scalable and automated way. We will also do a deep dive into the Couchbase Operator, which brings automated provisioning, on-demand scalability, automatic recovery, rack/zone awareness, and more to your cluster.

Full-Text Search – Tips and Tricks to Maximize Your Search Experience

Couchbase Full-Text Search (FTS) can do much more than cover your typical search scenario. It is also a strategic, powerful, adjunct to your typical query toolkit. Too many WHERE clauses or too many complex LIKE % situations getting you down? It may be time to mix in some FTS to take advantage of text analysis and more flexible text matching.

Join Steve Yen, Couchbase co-founder, and Abhinav Dangeti, FTS engineer, as they take you deeper into the different kinds of Full-Text Search approaches might benefit you today, nicluding, when to use FTS vs. N1QL, and how to squeeze every ounce of performance from it in low latency use cases.

N1QL+GSI: Language and Performance Improvements in Couchbase 5.0 and 5.5

N1QL gives developers and enterprises an expressive, powerful, and complete language for querying, transforming, and manipulating JSON data. We’ll begin this session with a brief overview of N1QL and then explore some key enhancements we’ve made in the latest versions of Couchbase Server. Couchbase Server 5.0 has language and performance improvements for pagination, index exploitation, integration, index availability, and more. Couchbase Server 5.5 will offer even more language and performance features for N1QL and global secondary indexes (GSI), including ANSI joins, aggregate performance, index partitioning, auditing, and more.

Roadmapping the Revolution

Scott Anderson, SVP, will recap a year of incredible releases and detail the future of the Couchbase Data Platform and the innovative features coming next.

Couchbase Analytics Overview

Due to the lack of built-in analytics, many NoSQL database customers export data from their operational databases into analytical platforms that are installed and managed separately. This approach is complex to manage, costly to operate, and makes application queries across both repositories difficult and error prone. But most importantly, it creates barriers to getting real-time operational analytics. The Couchbase Server Analytics service adds analytical capabilities to Couchbase Server, enabling real-time and ad hoc analytics over operational data, all within the same Couchbase cluster.

The Couchbase Analytics service is one of the newer members of the Couchbase Data Platform family of services. This session will provide an overview of this service, which delivers parallel evaluation of analytical queries on current data with minimal impact on the operational performance of the Couchbase cluster. We will examine the architecture of the new service, describe its SQL++ based query interface, and share the roadmap for this important new capability.

Couchbase-as-a-Service Using Containers and Kubernetes

In this session you’ll learn how Couchbase’s unique architecture and powerful NoSQL technology provide unparalleled performance at any scale for cloud and container-based environments – even across multiple datacenters operated by different cloud vendors. We’ll explain how our unique Multi-Dimensional Scaling, in-memory performance, and flexible JSON document store make the Couchbase Data Platform ideal for modern containerized mission-critical applications. Then we’ll show you how to deploy a Couchbase cluster in OpenShift with a Couchbase operator, and how to manage Couchbase’s high availability and resiliency in a distributed system while running on the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. We’ll also give you a live demo to show you exactly how to create a Couchbase cluster on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
