Oh wow, this is great news. I though the project was effectively long dead. Is there a new/up-to-date "couchapp" too?

More good news!

Anyone have recent experience with couchdb?

I see the (quickstart) docs use plain http - should one terminate ssl in front, eg with a recent version of haproxy?

I wish couch was used whenever users ask for an app to "sync to Dropbox". I don't know if this changes with 3.0 but couch is naturally database per user, took me five minutes to install on my rpi with docker, very good admin interface, the database is the frontend (no driver or separate process), and let's the application layer handle conflicts.
We use https://github.com/jo/couchdb-bootstrap successfully.

CouchDB does SSL natively, but we do recommend HAProxy.

For anyone else looking to quickstart but on Kube, https://operatorhub.io/operator/couchdb-operator. Should add 3.0 soon.
