Get to Know Our Couchbase Community – Vojta Jakubec

As a follow up to last month’s post on getting to know Vlado Atanasov, we move to Prague to hear more about Vojta Jakubec.

저에 대해 그리고 일상적인 업무에서 어떤 일을 하는지 말씀해 주세요.Jakubec: I work as a Software Developer Principal at Concur (owned by SAP) on our travel product. I used to be responsible for part of our shared infrastructure including Couchbase caching. Nowadays I’m more focused on conversion of our old tech stack projects to modern equivalents. However, I still serve as the go-to guy for our other dev teams regarding Couchbase and often provide advice and consultation.

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

Jakubec: I live in Prague, Czech Republic. I love our city with its over thousand-year long history. My favorite hobbies are watching sports (ice hockey, American football, Formula One, …), photography and computer games.

코치베이스를 선택하게 된 계기가 무엇인가요?

Jakubec: This choice was actually made for me by Concur before I was hired. But looking back, I would have made the same decision myself. Back then the driving factor was native support for COM SDK which allowed us to use caching even from the oldest parts of our product. Today I would still pick Couchbase because of the transparency about how the whole system works and amazing communication on support of production issues.

Couchbase를 사용하여 어떤 성과를 거두셨습니까?

Jakubec: For Concur, Couchbase became an essential tool to allow us scale rapidly. Our customer base is growing at an incredible speed and if we didn’t choose Couchbase several years back, we wouldn’t be able to support this kind of growth.

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

Jakubec: My favorite new feature is the inclusion of Multiplexing IO in the .NET SDK since version 2.2.4. It is a long-awaited feature for us and I worked directly with Jeff Morris to help him get started with this IO pattern. It’s off by default so you need to turn it on in config. Once you do, you get significant increase on data throughput while decreasing the number of open sockets.

카우치베이스를 위해 세 가지 소원을 빌 수 있다면 무엇이겠습니까?

Jakubec: World peace, clean renewable energy source and one large piece of tiramisu for me. ;-)

What is your favorite book or author,and why?

Jakubec: As a kid I fell in love with several collections of short stories from Arthur C. Clarke. He would often present near-future scenarios where problems were solved by out-of-the-box thinking. His work helped me to start looking for out-of-the-box solutions as I got older.
