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.
