Yeah, I'm still disappointed that the MongoDB API outpaced the CouchDB Replication Protocol in general adoption. As nice as Cloudant can be some of the time, I know that my IT group would be a lot happier if we could use Cosmos DB (and/or if Cloudant would just directly support Azure data centers again).

Every now and again I wonder if I could implement the CouchDB Replication Protocol on top of Cosmos DB with a presumably hairy ball of Azure Functions and hoping someone beats me to needing that to exist and scratches that itch for me. (Cosmos DB's changes feed is so almost right for the job it hurts because it sounds like it should be easy, and yet I assume it won't be.)
