When Stacey Kruczek joined Aerospike.com, their community building needed a little TLC from a developer relations expert. These days, the community is 12,000 people strong, the meetups are thriving and she knows exactly how to prove DevRel’s business value. In this episode, we chat with Stacey about all of this and more.

If there’s one word to describe Stacey, it’s passionate. This is obvious from the way she has built an immense amount of trust with developers at Aerospike and beyond. Aerospike is a real time database handling massive amounts of data, and Stacey has been key to building the wonderful community they currently uphold. Of course DevRel is a complicated role, but as Stacey puts it, she’s really there to listen - and that’s what she does, responding in real time to developer needs.

Stacey is also doing incredible work with the Developer Relations Foundation, where she’s on a mission to be the spokesperson that DevRel desperately needs. The foundation’s focus is on promoting the value DevRel adds to business, and supporting their community in that goal.

The work that Stacey does is not only huge in its amount but huge in its reach, and we can’t wait to see what more she does in the future!
