[couchdb_ouchdb]

I'm surprised to see so much love for CouchDB in this thread. I don't think it's been widely adopted in corporate america and has lost the war to MongoDB closed source or not.

I joined a company where it's being used backing a mobile app with couch/pouch in production. We can't wait to get off of it. Writes are slow. Reads are worse. Having a DB per user is a scaling and backup nightmare. If you run into any issues, it's a ghost town.

I'm glad the CouchDB Team is forging ahead, but who is really using this database?

I sadly can’t name names, but rest assured the fortune 500 is heavily involved.

OTOH, publicly known big companies using CouchDB include Apple and IBM.

And I worked on a team that used CouchDB’s offline capability in the 2015 Ebola crisis in West Africa. That work also lead to the first Ebola vaccine ever.

That’s why we do CouchDB :)
