A collection of CouchDB and CouchDB compatible databases and related tools and experiments.
I'm a huge fan of the CouchDB concept and architecture, but I don't like the Erlang implementation.
There's a lot to like in the javascript-based rewrite, PouchDB, but it's not mature enough yet on the server side (as of 2023), especially for cloud deployment. That's not a criticism of the PouchDB developers, as their goal was really to run in the browser. It just so happens that rewriting in Javascript unlocks NodeJS as a platform, which in turn unlocks the option to easily port to other runtimes such as AWS Lambda.
I have evaluated both CouchDB and PouchDB for one of my projects and also experimented with building my own CouchDB-compatible engine. Some of these experiments made it into the repos in this collection.
