Summary

In this blog post, the author discusses the final steps in building the CouchCase, a portable Couchbase Server cluster housed in a briefcase, which is set to be showcased at the CodeMash conference in January 2017. The networking setup involves assigning specific IP addresses to Intel Compute Sticks connected to a router, and clustering is achieved by installing Couchbase Server on additional machines and joining them to the existing cluster using the initial node's IP address and credentials. The process of rebalancing the cluster, necessary for optimal document distribution among nodes, is explained as a seamless background operation that doesn't require downtime. The author invites further interaction via Twitter for questions or suggestions.
