Three of CouchDB's creators show you how to use this document-oriented
database as a standalone application framework or with high-volume,
distributed applications. With its simple model for storing, processing,
and accessing data, CouchDB is ideal for web applications that handle
huge amounts of loosely structured data. That alone would stretch the
limits of a relational database, yet CouchDB offers an open source
solution that's reliable, scales easily, and responds quickly.CouchDB
works with self-contained data that has loose or ad-hoc connections.
It's a model that fits many real-world items, such as contacts,
invoices, and receipts, but you'll discover that this database can
easily handle data of any kind. With this book, you'll learn how to work
with CouchDB through its RESTful web interface, and become familiar with
key features such as simple document CRUD (create, read, update,
delete), advanced MapReduce, deployment tuning, and more.Understand the
basics of document-oriented storage and manipulation Interact with
CouchDB entirely though HTTP using its RESTful interface Model data as
self-contained JSON documents Handle evolving data schemas naturally
Query and aggregate data in CouchDB using MapReduce views Replicate data
between nodes Tune CouchDB for increased performance and reliability
