Client Libraries for Couchbase Server
Couchbase Server is simple to develop for by it's very nature. Modeling your data, as many of my colleagues often say, is simply a matter of organizing it like the natural world around you. I know that seems like a blindingly straightforward idea, but many a software developer has had to deal with the impedance mismatch when building the software between the users and their data.
Couchbase at ZendCon 2011
The organizers behind ZendCon recognized all we've been doing with Couchbase recently, and accepted a session on Couchbase. At first, J. Chris was to discuss everything we've been up to with Couchbase Mobile, but there was an unavoidable scheduling conflict.
Paying Attention to what Time it is
First, the news. I've just posted a release candidate for spymemcached 2.6. The current prerelease Membase vbucket aware client is also based on that code.
My Notes on the NoSQL Smashup
spymemcached makes more of Membase
In some of the recent Membase meetups, the topic of what moxi does for clients has been discussed a bit. The bit of background many folks didn't initially have is that moxi began life as being a way to bring some "smarter" capabilities to some memcached clients, using many of the same techniques Dustin had written into spymemcached.
Mainly this was for PHP and Ruby clients, which typically run with many processes that either don't share resources at all or use apartment multithreading under Apache 2.
But, it wasn't yet ready for Membase and vBuckets...
First Ever Membase Meetup @Zynga San Francisco
Along with our Membase project co-founders at Zynga, we held our first ever Meetup at Zynga's facilities in San Francisco.
SD Forum Membase Talk Slides
On Tuesday the 26th, I had the opportunity to get in front of the SD Forum Cloud Services SIG. I talked about Membase and how it fits in to cloud services and cloud platforms from an integration standpoint. Slides are posted on slideshare.
Regional Membase Meetups Featuring Local Users
It’s been great to see the interest grow in Membase NoSQL database technology since the open source project was established in June. There is a lot of demand for technical information and use case examples (especially about what Zynga is doing with the technology), and so…
Starting next week, you’ll start to see Membase meetups in major U.S. cities. Membase project leaders and local users will lead the meetups, covering topics such as:
membase at OSCON 2010
Last week was very busy. We at NorthScale had the release of beta 2 of membase followed by membase's presence at a second conference. Though we'd already launched the project, OSCON was a great platform to get into further detail about membase itself, the project behind it, what's in the roadmap and how other folks can get involved.
What exactly is membase?
It has been just over couple weeks since the launch of membase.org, along with NorthScale's partners at Zynga and NHN. In that time, we've been steadily increasing the postings on the wiki and responding to questions on the mailing list, the XMPP Chat and the IRC channel. When questions come up, they tend to be about about how membase compares to other Open Source projects, what kind of client one would use or what the pieces are when deployed.
