Jaxon Repp on HarperDB NoSQL Database Platform
In the podcast, I spoke with Jaxon Repp, Head of Product at HarperDB, on their NoSQL database platform, edge persistence, and custom functions.
Jaxon has 25 years of experience architecting, designing, and developing enterprise software. He is the founder of three technology startups and has consulted with multiple Fortune 500 companies on IoT and Digital Transformation initiatives. A partially-reformed developer, he understands what it’s like to wrestle with technology instead of benefiting from it, and believes passionately that if the Jetsons never had an episode where a config file error brought down the food-o-matic, it surely should not be a problem now.
