Get to know our Couchbase Community – Meet Michael Hirschberg

                

Congratulations to our newest member of the Couchbase Champion team! Meet Michael Hirschberg.

Tell us about yourself and what you do in your daily role?

I am a senior system engineer, working for 아마데우스 for the last eight years.

My responsibilities include:

• Automating cluster deployment/maintenance

• Providing an API to the internal tools (to issue commands like a rebalance from the internal ops manager framework)

• Taking     care of the PCI audit   

• Cluster sizing

• Maintaining the Couchbase environment (like patching)

• Normal daily business (like resolving incidents and problems)

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

I’m based in Erding, Bavaria. In my spare time I like to listen to music on vinyl and play music with others, when possible.

코치베이스를 선택하게 된 계기가 무엇인가요?

Amadeus started to look at Couchbase in 2012 because a replacement for the internal memcached farms was urgently needed.

Couchbase를 사용하여 어떤 성과를 거두셨습니까?

We are currently migrating our biggest memcached/MySQL farm to Couchbase. So far, three out of seven application peaks have been migrated (25% writes, 45% reads) with no issues – everything runs as expected.

카우치베이스 is also used in many other projects (like R-Box ), but the above is the largest (once completely migrated, it’s going to be 550B requests/day, ~30% writes).

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

Graceful failover! It allows me to easily automate rolling upgrades on low-traffic clusters.

I also like the new PAM integration + RBAC feature, disabling HTTP access to the UI, which helps a lot during our PCI-DSS audit.

카우치베이스를 위해 세 가지 소원을 빌 수 있다면 무엇이겠습니까?

– Diskless buckets! In some cases we just don’t need any persistency, but have no way to disable it.

– More useful log in the UI (for example, the audit log is not there).

– Last but not least, man pages for the cmd tools! An excellent example is the cbc-pillowfight man.

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?

Right now my favorite author is Andreas Eschbach. He tells interesting stories and raises important philosophical questions. His book, “Lord of All Things,” is a good example.
