I think it is pretty cool that http://couch.io/ is a website served directly by CouchDB. Server: CouchDB/0.12.0ab71f475-git (Erlang OTP/R13B)

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

It's a pure CouchApp served behind Apache httpd for technical reasons. The site proper is run in/from CouchDB, Apache is merely used for virtual hosting and caching. We are transitioning to a pure-CouchDB setup now that CouchDB can do virtual hosts itself.

Congrats, 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 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…

". . .Mongo have seen issues from many people with data loss"

Have any citations for data loss happening in a release version of mongo, with the recommended configuration (at least 1 slave)?

Hey CouchDB, do you have a page of people using you in production?

HTTP/1.1 is essential for conserving our dwindling IPv4 address space, so I think it's reasonable for servers to require it.

Doesn't wget still use HTTP/1.0?

Apparently they added Host headers and keepalive, even though it's not a fully conforming HTTP/1.1 client. Makes me wonder how many servers out there accept Host headers from HTTP/1.0 clients.
