#32Congrats, guys! I have to say, though, while you were busy inching towards 1.0 I've fallen in love with other production-ready NoSQL db's (namely Mongo and Cassandra). I'm excited to play with Couch, just to play with it, but as someone who is already very satisfied with other NoSQL technologies (when I need them), what would be your pitch for why I should give Couch a serious look?
I've got truly offline replication (as in you can run me on Android and your laptop and keep them synced via the cloud). Also, none of the other NoSQLs are really set up for schemaless queries like I am. Incremental map-reduce lets you normalize a bunch of different heterogenous document structures in your view, which is more flexible than the key-path indexes Mongo has, and more real-time than Hadoop/Google style ma…
I hope someone creates mongodb account and responds to your comment. Nothing better to follow than hot, fierce war between databases. Keep'em coming! May the best prevail!

#33Great job but the site does a terrible job in telling a new visitor what exactly CouchDB does. I'm still not clear what it does - why are they offering a download before actually communicating the benefits.

I think we have different definitions of "production-ready." I find Cassandra to considerably immature having weird bugs that cause it to outright crash and both Cassandra and Mongo have seen issues from many people with data loss. Yes, people are using these systems in production but they're both still young and immature and it is in everyone's best interest to continue to evaluate possible solutions that are coming out.

#35Can someone give me a quick synopsis of what I would use this for? Is this only for Facebook size scaling or is it of use for those of us just starting out?
We've been using CouchDB in production for at least six months with our web-based content management system and our mobile advertising platform. We also use it to store scores for a couple of mobile games, and to store posts for PicBored, an anonymous image-based forum for Android. I am a bit worried about how well the replication will work with dozens or hundreds of servers, but it's working great with only a handful.

#36Well done guys. But don't forget to credit Bryant Cutler ( http://bryantcutler.com/ ) for the awesome logo. update: downvoted? why? I really think the guy should be credited. He did a fricking awesome job which CouchDB has based its whole image on. The faux movie poster linked at the top of this story has a giant size version of his logo as the very backdrop. This shit is important. Credit him, says I!
I down-voted you just now because you complained about being down-voted, which isn't good etiquette.

I personally use MongoDB for small, one-off projects. The good thing about schemaless databases is that you can just start shoving data into them without caring about its structure.
That said, document-based databases suck at complex queries and reporting tasks.

According to the response headers, it's about 50/50 Apache and CouchDB depending on the resource.

I agree that logo is the bomb. I remember when Damien held the contest and my friend @atduskgreg entered. When I saw the logo that one I knew Greg's didn't stand a chance. Thanks Bryant!
