Brant is the Systems Architect at CenterEdge Software<\/a> where he\u2019s been an avid user of Couchbase since 2012 and a supporter of the Couchbase Community since 2016. His focus is on Couchbase Server, SQL++, and the .NET SDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was your first introduction to Couchbase?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been using Couchbase since 2012, when I began using version 1.8 to provide a high performance, scalable query cache and persistent shopping cart store.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Couchbase product or service do you use the most?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a long-time fan of SQL++ (formerly called N1QL) and the query\/indexing engine that backs it. I love the power combined with the familiarity of the SQL++ language, both of which have grown more and more since its release.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What project or product using Couchbase that you worked on are you most proud of?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve worked on a lot of end user products which use Couchbase, and I\u2019m proud of all of them. But I\u2019m probably most proud of the Linq2Couchbase project, which is a Couchbase\/SQL++ LINQ provider for .NET developers, and couchbase-index-manager, which provides a declarative method for managing SQL++ indices as part of your CI\/CD pipeline. I love these projects because their goal is to help other developers deliver great products using Couchbase, so their reach is even greater than any end user product I might make.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an Ambassador, what would you like to achieve in the next 12 months?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d love to help create a network of skilled developers who use Couchbase but can collaborate and share knowledge across a wide variety of subjects to make us all better developers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking into your crystal ball, what do you (or would like to) see for Couchbase technologies or the tech world in general?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I want to see more tools, such as Kubernetes Operators, which streamline the ability to develop and deploy new applications to the cloud. We\u2019re already light years ahead of where we were 10 years ago, but there are still a lot of moving parts like high availability, monitoring, tracing, logging, service meshes, data redundancy, and more that add a lot of overhead and cognitive load to a new project.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any pro-tips or life hacks that our readers might find interesting?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always add a root <\/span>EditorConfig<\/span><\/a> file to every source code repository. The added consistency in formatting and text editors is worth its weight in gold.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are not moving data around, what do you enjoy doing the most?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love working on other non-data related open source projects as well. My latest passion is <\/span>Yardarm<\/span><\/a>, which is an OpenAPI SDK generator based on the C# compiler internals (a.k.a. Roslyn) to provide high performance, extensible, .NET specific SDKs from OpenAPI specifications.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for sharing your work and ideas with our readers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
