Membase is gaining popularity as an open source NoSQL database technology, with increasing interest from users and developers. Membase meetups are being organized in major US cities, where project leaders and local users will lead discussions on various topics related to the technology. These meetups offer a great opportunity for attendees to learn about Membase's capabilities, hear from industry experts and users, and network with like-minded individuals. The first meetup is scheduled for next week, with more events planned for this fall and early next year in cities such as San Francisco, New York City, Boston, and Silicon Valley. Attendees can expect interactive sessions, presentations, and demonstrations of Membase's features, including use cases and customer examples.
