Aaron Benton, a Senior Applications Architect at Market America / Shop.com, has joined the Couchbase Champion Community. Based in Greensboro, NC, Aaron enjoys outdoor activities and works on open-source projects like CFCouchbase and Fakeit in his spare time. He predominantly uses Node.js and ColdFusion in his development work, focusing on mobile app and front-end UI design. Aaron selected Couchbase for its memory-first architecture, simplicity, performance, and scalability, particularly praising Couchbase Lite and Sync Gateway for providing offline mobile solutions and flexibility. He values the Sync Gateway feature for its ability to facilitate near API-less application development and document syncing across devices. Aaron wishes for a mobile-friendly admin UI, SDK support for Sync Gateway operations, and improved documentation search functionality in Couchbase. His favorite book is "JavaScript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford, which he appreciates for its insights into effectively using JavaScript.
