5. IT Service Management (ITSM):

• Integrate ITSM practices into database and caching operations, including incident management, change management, and problem management.

• Utilize ITSM tools to track, manage, and resolve database-related incidents and service requests.

• Document and adhere to ITSM processes and workflows to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.

7. Application Support:

• Collaborate with development teams to integrate Couchbase, Redis, and other NoSQL databases into new and existing applications.

• Assist in the design and review of database architectures, schemas, and models for NoSQL solutions.

• Provide guidance on best practices for Couchbase, Redis, and NoSQL development, database design patterns, and caching strategies.

8.Security and Compliance:

• Ensure Couchbase, Redis, and other NoSQL environments are secure and compliant with industry standards and company policies.

• Implement and manage security measures, including encryption, user authentication, and role-based access control.

9. Performance Tuning and Optimization:
