What we use.
Ease of Installation
No matter how feature-rich a framework may be, if installation is painful,
the purpose is defeated. The NPM tool that comes with every Node.js
installation provides much-needed relief for developers.
Core Library
A repository that eliminates the need for writing repetitive
code is essential for any good framework. One way that Node
deals with these issues is NPM, which gives developers
access to 550+ modules.
Hosting Requirements
The choice of hosting determines the functioning of the
application but with Node.js that problem is eliminated.
It can be hosted almost anywhere, including several
cloud-based hosting providers and web servers.
It’s no surprise, therefore, that corporate giants such as
Google and Amazon have chosen Node.js.
Relevance
Node.js is a fresh framework, relevant to current times,
eliminating the need for enhanced protection from hackers.
A framework that is easy to modify and maintain,
allowing devs to find and fix bugs quickly, are key advantages of Node.js.
Easy Setup
The CKH team has worked with Couchbase on many projects
and appreciates the ease of setup and speed to production.
Battled Tested Against Data Loss
Data loss isn’t fun. Utilizing the various replication options available
within Couchbase, data loss is significantly minimized.
Reliable Performance Over Time
Couchbase is fast and we love performance! Also, unlike SQL databases,
the way that Couchbase is architected allows for performance to remain steady over time.
Management and Scalability
Management and maintenance of Couchbase is among the industries best.
Scaling across nodes and clusters is fast and easy with Couchbase.
Happy Developer = Happy Life
The keys to a developer’s heart are control and speed.
Control starts with a laptop and ends in production. Docker provides full life cycle control.
The architecture of Docker images is such that a developer can build, run and test an
application service (multiple compute instances e.g., containers) on a laptop, and
know that the same service stack will be running when it’s in production.
We also care about Sysadmins
Sysadmins don’t put things in production unless the risk
is completely understood and the outweighed benefits can be proven. Docker has done that.
It makes deployment and management of applications a concern that is much more easily
managed by the Sysadmins of the world
We also care about the End Users
Although containerized apps are transparent to the user,
the benefits are not. Faster bug fix deployments, more reliable deployments, less downtime,
rolling updates. All things that make the end users life better without them even knowing it.
It's become the industry standard for deploying containers in production
Kubernetes along with Docker Swarm have quickly become the standard for deploying
and orchestrating containers in all kinds of environments. The tooling is great and easy to use.
Developers love it
Developers have been among the first to embrace containerization because it solved a big
problem for them: taking applications from development environments to production
environments. Without containers, developers sometimes find that applications don't run
exactly the same way in production that they did on the developers' systems.
It can run any containerized application
Enterprise architects are always balancing the need to make their legacy applications
cost-effective and the need to support future innovation. In the past, the tools necessary
for each of those needs were very different, but with Kubernetes you can easily have your
legacy apps and green field apps live in the same environment.
