  "account": "A developer designed a product catalog using Couchbase Capella, deploying it on Render with a GitHub Actions pipeline. The catalog stores products with varying attributes in a single collection, without a predefined schema. The developer used SQL++ to query the data, demonstrating its flexibility in handling nested JSON documents. They showcased three use cases: combining filters in a single query, searching by a field determined at runtime, and performing aggregations. The project is available on GitHub and can be accessed online.",
  "summary": "Try to design the products table for a store. A laptop needs RAM, processor, and inches. A bicycle needs size, material, and number of speeds. A book needs pages and language. None of those fields are useful for the other two. In class, the answer is known: you normalize, create an attributes table with key-value pairs, and live with the JOINs. It works. It also gives me…",
