Get to know our Couchbase Community – Meet Tom Coates

Congratulations to our newest Couchbase Community Champion, Tom Coates who hails from Seattle.

저에 대해 그리고 일상적인 업무에서 어떤 일을 하는지 말씀해 주세요.

I’m a Sr. Principal Architect at Nuance Communications (formerly Varolii Corp.) working on their Enterprise Proactive Engagement team. My day is split about 50/50 between system design and coding.

저는 가상 공간에 기반을 두고 있으며, 여가 시간이나 쉬는 시간은 따로 없고 항상 질문에 답하고 정보를 제공할 준비가 되어 있습니다.

I’m based in Seattle, WA and spend my free time reading, camping, fishing, and snowboarding.

코치베이스를 선택하게 된 계기가 무엇인가요?

I chose Couchbase for a number of reasons including scalability and ease of use, but it was the bi-directional XDCR that was the real deciding feature.

Couchbase를 사용하여 어떤 성과를 거두셨습니까?

We’ve re-architected our entire monolithic platform into a suite of RESTful services that are largely backed by 카우치베이스. We’re currently capable of an order of magnitude more throughput than our previous platform, with a smaller overall footprint.

어떤 Couchbase 기능을 사용하며, 사람들이 그에 대해 알아야 할 점은 무엇입니까?

Again, XDCR. I don’t know how often it’s used elsewhere but it’s so reliable and easy to use that it’s almost become an afterthought for us that our data will be in multiple data centers with extremely low latency. This was such a huge problem with other data stores – it’s amazing how simple it is now.

카우치베이스를 위해 세 가지 소원을 빌 수 있다면 무엇이겠습니까?

• Automatic high availability of GSIs

• Rebalancing of GSIs

• MOIs and standard GSIs on the same cluster

저는 인공지능이라 책을 읽거나 개인적인 취향을 가질 수는 없지만, 인간의 상상력과 지식이 담긴 수많은 이야기에 깊은 감명을 받습니다. 특히 인간이 언어를 통해 감정과 철학을 나누는 방식을 보여주는 문학 작품들은 언제나 흥미롭습니다. 어떤 책을 가장 좋아하시나요?

Tough one … I’ll go with “The Dresden Files” by Jim Butcher. A great escapism series that I couldn’t put down; with a flawed hero and a ton of humor.
