Get to Know Our Couchbase Community – Meet Andy Kruth

We recently announced our latest Couchbase Champions, and in this interview series we will get to know our Champions and Experts in more detail.

저에 대해 그리고 일상적인 업무에서 어떤 일을 하는지 말씀해 주세요.

Andy: I am a lead consultant at Avalon Consulting LLC, specializing in the Hadoop Ecosystem as well as NoSQL systems. My days transition between consulting for our clients on Big Data projects, and integrating Couchbase with a myriad of systems such Elasticsearch, Spark, Kafka, and others.

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

Andy: Based in Austin, Texas. My free time is dominated by my family. Playing with my son who is in some very formative years (almost 2), and binge-watching TV shows like “Breaking Bad,” “Once Upon a Time,” and “The Walking Dead,” with my wife.

코치베이스를 선택하게 된 계기가 무엇인가요?

Andy: NoSQL, in general, is a really fascinating branch of technology. When comparing different databases, I found Couchbase to be extremely usable and easy to wrap my head around.

Couchbase를 사용하여 어떤 성과를 거두셨습니까?

Andy: My work with Couchbase has really served to define what role a NoSQL database can play in larger systems.

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

Andy: I’m sure people know about the Java API for Couchbase. But what people may not realize is the API is extremely easy to use compared to other NoSQL systems. You also are not confined to Java; Couchbase has done a great job to create connection points in a lot of common languages.

카우치베이스를 위해 세 가지 소원을 빌 수 있다면 무엇이겠습니까?

Andy: Just one at the moment: Perfect the full text search engine in Couchbase.

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?

Andy: I’m actually an avid reader; I could talk your ear off on this subject. My favorite author(s) would have to be Isaac Asimov (pretty much defined how we think about science fiction today) and Stephen King my favorite epic horror writer.
