The text discusses the author's experience using Jelastic, a Platform-as-Infrastructure that combines PaaS and IaaS capabilities, and highlights its recent release of a version called Joker, which integrates Jelastic with Docker. The platform is praised for its ability to facilitate both horizontal and vertical scaling, making it an ideal environment for deploying Couchbase, especially following Couchbase's focus on Multi-Dimensional Scaling in its 4.x release. The author shares their intention to create a series of posts explaining the deployment process, beginning with a straightforward Couchbase deployment using Docker on Jelastic. The process involves selecting an environment, choosing a Docker image, determining the number and size of nodes using a cloudlets selector, and setting up endpoints for public access. The author provides a video demonstration and suggests further reading for those interested in learning more about Couchbase and Docker.
