i wrote a small blog post about our setup today and wanted to share it with you as CouchDB got mentioned quite often. http://blog.ideegeo.com/2008/12/09/iwantmyname-using-erlang-and-couchdb-behind-the-scenes/ .
We use CouchDB in production here (a svn built about a month old) and have moved more and more functionality from PostgreSQL to CouchDB during the development process. If someone has questions about implementation, usage, production setups, ... feel free to ask me. btw, the sales guys love to edit the TLD databse (with futon) and replicate the changes to the prod DB (via ssh). cheers lenz
