10:50AM — 11:30AM Three Things You Need to Know About Document Data Modeling

Matthew Revell, Couchbase

We’re all familiar with modeling data the relational way. When we move to a document database we need to think about things a little differently. In this talk we’ll look how best to plan, model and maintain your data using a document database. By diving into real world case studies of Couchbase users, we’ll look at the three main things you need to know about modeling your data in a document database: document design, key design and querying.

11:30AM — 12:15PM Reactive Data Access with RxJava, Including N1QL

Michael Nitschinger, Couchbase

This talk shows how to build scalable, reactive, and fault tolerant applications by making use of RxJava and the brand new fully reactive Couchbase Java SDK 2.x. We will also cover stability patterns and how our brand new query language, “N1QL” fits into the picture.

This subject is important, as applications that exclusively rely on synchronous data access often hit a scalability wall when responses slow down and thread pools are exhausted. New paradigms, like reactive programming, alleviate the wasting of resources by dispatching them where they can do useful work and provide extensive toolsets to deal with the ever growing demands of web applications.

1:00PM — 1:45PM .NET Data Access Strategies for Couchbase and Language Integrated Query

Martin Esmann, Couchbase & Jeff Morris, Couchbase

Whether you have been using Couchbase with .NET for a couple of years or you are a .NET developer who is new to Couchbase, you will benefit from this session on strategies for data access with the current 2.1 and upcoming 2.2 .NET SDKs. Martin and Jeff will cover the API and interfaces provided by the SDK, including a couple of different strategies and patterns for mapping and querying data. The session will show in demos and code the mapping to POCOs from the repository pattern, how to use asynchronous operations, and even how LINQ fits in with current and future SDKs.

1:45PM — 2:30PM Couchbase at Nielsen: Interactive Data Analytics with Couchbase N1QL

Arvind Jade, Nielsen & Govindarajan Raghunathapuram, Nielsen

In this session we’ll discuss how Couchbase’s query language, N1QL provided Nielsen with an interactive querying capability that significantly increased our ability to gather meaningful insights into stored client data. In this session, you will learn how we gather those insights and interact with data analytics while leveraging SQL for JSON, N1QL.

For context, Nielsen’s Answers on Demand (AOD) services deliver ratings data and other information for businesses in more than 100 countries. With the inflow of massive volumes of data and the requirement to deliver highly targeted results for clients, the ability to sift through datasets quickly and effectively is critical. The AOD services need to provide powerful analytics and reporting capabilities – essentially aggregations on the fly – through an on-demand big data platform. Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015 KEYNOTES & GENERAL SESSIONS | DEVELOPER TRACK | ARCHITECTURE TRACK

We at Nielsen turned to Couchbase to persist client report definitions, selections, and cache enabling us to sidestep many of the limitations of relational databases operating in a multitenant environment. The Couchbase solution delivered a 50 percent boost in response time by pre-indexing metadata and gave us the ability to query against the index or target specific documents with N1QL.

2:30PM — 3:15PM Building MVC Node.js Applications with Couchbase Server

Todd Greenstein, Couchbase & Shane Johnson, Couchbase

MongoDB has been the default database choice in the Node.js world for too long. That’s largely been thanks to the Mongoose ODM, which makes it simple to create an MVC pattern application with some of the same abstraction you’d get from a full framework such as Rails. Now that we have the Ottoman ODM for Couchbase, it’s far easier to build Node.js apps backed by Couchbase. In this talk, I’ll show how to build a simple Node.js application that follows the MVC pattern. At first I’ll start out using the Node.js client directly, both through key-value access and with N1QL, and then I’ll switch to using Ottoman to show just how effortless it can be to use Couchbase Server in your Node.js applications.

B+-tree has been used as one of the main index structures in database fields for more than four decades. However, with the unprecedented amount of data being generated by modern, global-scale web, mobile, and IoT applications, typical B+-tree implementations are beginning to show scalability and performance issues. Various key-value storage engines with variants of B+-tree such as log-structured merge tree (LSM-tree), have been proposed to address these limitations. At Couchbase, we have been working on a new key-value storage engine, ForestDB, that has a main index structure based on Hierarchical B+- Tree (based Trie or HB+-Trie). and provides high scalability and performance. In this presentation, we introduce ForestDB and discuss why ForestDB is a good fit for modern big data applications.

KEYNOTES & GENERAL SESSIONS

8:30AM — 9:00AM Couchbase Containers with Bare Metal Performance

Bryan Cantrill, Joyent

Containerization, spurred on by Docker’s rise, is swiftly establishing itself as the future of computing. Containers promise a shorter, faster path from development to deploy, and may also improve performance and cost efficiencies. Yet, achieving the promised efficiencies and convenience, especially with applications that require sophisticated networking, remains challenging. Worse, many operators compromise container performance by running them with an unnecessary hardware hypervisor layer that slows performance and increases costs. In this session, Joyent CTO Bryan Cantrill will demonstrate how we can enjoy the simplicity and performance or running Couchbase on bare metal while also achieving the benefits promised by containerization. Joyent’s Triton container-native platform gives applications like Couchbase full access to the network stack and fast I/O that you’d expect of bare metal, combined with the convenience of a Docker-native API to launch those containers across the entire data center. See Bryan deploy, rebalance, and benchmark a high performance Couchbase cluster spread across the data center with just a few Docker commands.

9:00AM — 9:30AM Women in Coding

Divya Jain, Box, Amanda Gerdes, Blizzard, Danese Cooper, PayPal, Maria Mokhnatkina, Motorola & Jason Robey, Nike

We are in the middle of big changes in technology: the move to cloud, explosion of mobile and open source software, data platforms encompassing Hadoop and shifting from relational to NoSQL. These changes mean that enterprises are hiring significant new developer teams that require an entirely new set of skills from existing tech workers. This panel will address key questions around this change and whether or not this can be an opportunity to attract more women to coding.

10:30AM — 11:15AM Ship It!!! Coding Reliable Couchbase Applications for Production

Michael Nitschinger, Couchbase & Matt Ingenthron, Couchbase

Reliably delivering data to applications in a high performance way is where Couchbase shines, but maintaining a high- performance application is not just a job for Couchbase Server. Couchbase Server meets very stringent performance and availability needs, but to successfully deliver data at scale, all application components need to work together as a single system. For example, you need to be prepared for various edge conditions like expected “TMPFAIL”s, handling failovers, and dealing with higher latencies under load. Good thing you have the tools you need from the Couchbase SDK.

In this session, Michael and Matt will show patterns for handling these kinds of scenarios and talk about some of the great failures from years of experience, how they can be prevented and demonstrate some techniques for making the entire system more reliable and able to recover faster.
