Couchbase introduced generative AI capabilities into its Database as a Service Couchbase Capella to significantly enhance developer productivity and accelerate time to market for modern applications.

Over the past ten years, my journey in software development has underscored one vital lesson: a well-designed modular architecture significantly influences the trajectory of a project’s evolution. This is an insight I honed during my tenure at SoundCloud and encapsulated in the microfeatures architecture. Later, I integrated this insight into the Tuist project. Interestingly, Shopify has also embraced a similar modular approach within their monolith. However, their adaptation is less publicized,...
