About:
Apache CouchDB is a NoSQL database that uses JSON for documents, JavaScript for MapReduce queries, and HTTP for an API. Its master-master replication model allows for flexible data synchronization across distributed systems. It offers a robust, scalable solution for applications requiring offline capabilities and seamless data convergence.
Key Features:
  • Master-master replication
  • RESTful HTTP API
  • Document-oriented storage
  • Built-in conflict resolution
Use Cases:
  • Offline-first mobile and web applications
  • Distributed data systems
  • Content management backends
Alternatives:
  • PostgreSQL – Relational SQL database vs. CouchDB's document-oriented NoSQL approach
  • MongoDB – Offers richer query language but lacks CouchDB's native multi-master replication
