I'm also using the rather old mobile version on android devices and ask myself if it's a good deal to replace it with couchbase lite (didn't test it yet). Are there any plans to release and possibly maintain a mobile version of couchdb? In my (biased) opinion, you should definitely switch to Couchbase Lite. The Android version is still pre-release, but Traun Leyden is working on it full-time now and making a lot of progress. You could also look at PouchDB. CouchDB is inherently going to be bigger and slower than a more-native equivalent. In our experience there is quite a lot of overhead to running an Erlang VM on a mobile device, especially since Erlang has a fairly slow interpreter without any JIT optimizations. —Jens
