Couchbase Sponsored the <\/span>DevoxxFR 2023<\/span><\/a> conference in Paris, France. I want to thank everyone who came to our booth with their questions and curiosity! It was a pleasure to see you all and to talk to our existing customers as well. We chatted about <\/span>SQL++<\/span><\/a> and our <\/span>DBaaS Couchbase Capella<\/span><\/a>, about ChatGPT of course, and other trendy tech topics. This year we had lots of inquiries about the TCO for NoSQL as well as multi-cloud offerings, sometimes at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course we offered some SWAG if you were visiting our booth. In addition to our usual socks and baseball caps, we also ran a couple of raffles to win Funko Pop Dolls. The winners were picked randomly by running a SQL++ query on the raffle data.<\/span><\/p>\n

[Random Couchbase fact: to choose a random document, all you have to do is add `ORDER BY Random() LIMIT 1<\/em>` at the end of your query.]<\/span><\/p>\n

Now the highlight of the event, it had to be Thursday\u2019s Meet & Greet. Members of our team made an appearance on stage<\/em> during the evening Jam! All while we were serving some beers from my brewery, <\/span>La Marmotte Masqu\u00e9e<\/span><\/a>. This was a wonderful evening!<\/span><\/p>\n

An evening followed by a 3 hours workshop the next day, about Couchbase Capella, <\/span>Gitlab <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>Qovery<\/span><\/a>. A very special thanks to all the engaged people that showed up to our Workshop about Stateful On-demand Environment for end-to-end testing. If you are interested about this, you can take the workshop yourself by following the <\/span>README<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The bulk of the story is, you have an application that requires access to a Couchbase bucket. The production is deployed on AWS, thanks to Qovery, and the main bucket thanks to Couchbase Capella<\/a>. Then for each merge request created, a Gitlab pipeline starts, a new environment for the application is deployed with Qovery, and a new Scope is created to support it. Then Cypress tests are run on the environment created for the merge request. We will write more about this in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

This session unfortunately was not recorded, but there are some recorded sessions on the DevoxxFR <\/span>YouTube already<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We ended up the very busy DevoxxFR 2023 by sponsoring a live recording of <\/span>Les Castcodeurs<\/span><\/a>, a French podcast inspired by the <\/span>Java Posse<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you<\/span> DevoxxFR<\/span><\/a>, for having Couchbase be a part of your event, and thank you to all the speakers and everyone who stopped by the Couchbase booth. We\u2019ll see you again soon!<\/span><\/p>\n
