Recently featured on the Stack Overflow podcast, the discussion revolved around "Developer Velocity," a concept that encompasses various factors affecting the speed and efficiency at which developers work, such as measurement of velocity, feedback loops, cloud versus on-premise services, custom tooling, and the choice between buying and building tools. A particularly significant aspect for Couchbase is the familiarity of tooling, underscored by their commitment to SQL, specifically SQL++, which is an open standard compatible with SQL and designed for flexible JSON data. This focus on familiar tools aims to enhance accessibility and speed in data handling, reflecting Couchbase's dedication to combining flexibility with familiarity. The episode encourages further discussion on developer productivity and velocity, inviting listeners to engage on the Couchbase Discord.
