Thanks for the information Jens. I understand what you're saying, but for 
some of us the need to run the beast that is Couchbase Server alongside 
Sync Gateway is quite a barrier. Running both services requires at least 
8GB of memory to run reliably, ideally 16GB. A 16GB server costs over $100 
a month to run. For my current project this is simply not feasible. Looks 
like its time to look at alternative options.
