About:
Apache CouchDB is a database that uses JSON for documents, JavaScript for MapReduce queries, and an HTTP-based API. It features a unique multi-master replication model that allows data synchronization across distributed nodes, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.

RESTful HTTP API for easy integration
Conflict resolution with automatic document versioning
Built-in query engine using MapReduce

Use Cases:

Offline-first mobile and web applications
Distributed data systems requiring high availability
Content management and document storage

Alternatives:

mongodb – NoSQL document store with a single-master architecture and different query language
postgresql – Relational SQL database with strong consistency and ACID compliance
