> CouchDB tried the whole DB-per-user thing and it didn't end super well.

Can anyone give further context here? Haven't looked at CouchDB for several years, remember it as being good for certain use cases (intermittently offline devices etc).

CouchDB doesn't support document ACLs so inevitably you will have to use a DB per user and map reduce in order to implement anything that has more than one user.

Yeah it stuck me as a weird comment. As if there was some public case of a company doing this and then going under or something.

So I'm wondering as well who it didn't end too well for.
