About DirecTV

DirecTV, a leader in digital entertainment serving over 38 million customers with 3,000+ channels, needed a flexible architecture to support multiple schemas, high scalability, and 100% uptime. They chose Couchbase because it provided everything they needed, including a SQL-based query language that simplified adoption. Couchbase also proved to be twice as fast as the closest competitor during proof-of-concept trials.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Dynamic modeling with NoSQL and Node.js streamlines development
  • Cross data center replication delivers high availability
  • Couchbase’s NoSQL provides unmatched flexibility, scalability, and performance
  • SQL++ query language enables a nearly flat learning curve

“When they introduced me to SQL++, we quickly realized that SQL++ offers the flexibility to search with a language that looks like 99% the same as SQL. So for all developers, it was an easy transition.”

Fidencio Garrido, Principal Engineer, DirecTV
