We were featured in Computerworld's list of 15 high-impact Apache projects:
This database uses JSON for documents, JavaScript for MapReduce queries, > and HTTP for an API. CouchDB’s core feature is its replication mechanism, > says Jan Lehnhardt, a longtime contributor to the project. “It allows [us] to synchronize any instance of CouchDB with any other. Each > copy of the data can be worked on independently, and changes can be > synchronized back to all other members of the group. Naturally occurring > conflicts can be dealt with programmatically.” CouchDB replication can be used to distribute data globally or move it > geographically closer to users. Improvements planned include integration > with BigCouch, a fault-tolerant, clustered version of CouchDB, Lehnhardt > says. The database’s JavaScript engine will be changed to V8 and Node.JS > for more flexibility of in-server scripting. http://www.computerworld.com.au/slideshow/455802/pictures_15_high-impact_apache_projects/?image=4 -- NS
