CouchDB - A Document Database

patrick — Wed, 2008-04-02 13:05

I watched the Racklabs Tech Talk 2: Next Generation Data Storage with CouchDB (speaker: Jan Lehnardt) on Yahoo! video (Part 1, Part 2). Jan also has the slides (in PDF format), as well as some context on the slides, up on his plok - CouchDB Presentation Video.

I have to say this is pretty cool technology. Stop thinking in only relational and transactional database technology. Even though this is at the alpha stage, prepare for this year's Google's Summer of Code... There may very well be some huge things again this year.

This would seem to fit very well in building scaling websites. If you're not quite sure what I mean, check out Brad Fitzpatrick - Behind the Scenes at LiveJournal: Scaling Storytime on Google Video.
