What can developer do with CouchDB
CouchDB is a terrific single-node database that works just like any other database behind an application server of your choice.
Most people start with a single node CouchDB instance. More demanding projects can seamlessly upgrade to a cluster.
CouchDB is also a clustered database that allows you to run a single logical database server on any number of servers or VMs.
A CouchDB cluster improves on the single-node setup with higher capacity and high-availability without changing any APIs.
CouchDB makes use of the ubiquitous HTTP protocol and JSON data format and is compatible with any software that supports them. CouchDB also works great with external tools like HTTP proxy servers, load balancers.
CouchDB’s unique Replication Protocol is the foundation for a whole new generation of “Offline First” applications for Mobile applications and other environments with challenging network infrastructures.
CouchDB is built for servers (from a Raspberry Pi to big cloud installations), while PouchDB is built for mobile & desktop web-browsers and Couchbase Lite is built for native iOS & Android apps.
And all of them can seamlessly replicate data with each other.
CouchDB is serious about data reliability.
Individual nodes use a crash-resistent append-only data structure. A multi-node CouchDB cluster saves all data redundantly, so it is always available when you need it.
What can developer do with PouchDB
Works in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, IE and Node.js
PouchDB is just a script tag and 46KB (gzipped) away in the browser, or $ npm install pouchdb away in Node.
