Summary:
Welcome to our FIFTH gathering as the Atlanta Google Cloud Meetup Group on June 22nd, 2023: 4-6pm EST at the Google Midtown Office.

This will be our LAST meetup at this location, before we move to the NEW Google Building. Saw Farewell to our Fox Theater.

This Meetup will focus on Couchbase on Google Cloud, led by one of our very own Atlanta Meetup members, Jim Gaster, who you may have met during out "All About Certs" meetup. He and his teammate Halie will not only provide an overview of DBaaS benefits, but they're bringing us one of their engineers for a live demo - Thank you, Brent Janorske! We do love a good demo ;)

As a background, Couchbase is a leader in the modern enterprise database space, and available in many deployment options, from self-managed on premise, self-managed in the cloud, or hosted and managed as a DBaaS in the cloud.

Look forward to meeting up and learning about all things Google Cloud!

Per feedback, we are moving this by half an hour
