Distributed over internet ?
Hello,
I am new to CouchDB and I'd like to know if it's possible to deploy
CouchDB over different servers over the world to share the same
database. Is it efficient and could it be secured (I saw CouchDB
supports ssl). I guess CouchDB was originally designed to distribute a
database over a datacenter or in a local network.
Thanks,

It depends entirely on your use-case.
I would most likely use an SSH tunnel for personal projects because I trust the
security more, but SSL is easier for collaboration, though it has reduced
security and increased setup costs.

Any thoughts about preferring an ssh tunnel?

You can tunnel CouchDB over SSL or any other secure protocol as you wish using
reverse HTTP proxies. The only thing that would effect your ability to
distribute a CouchDB database is your connection speed. CouchDB was designed for
unrestricted distribution capabilities, so have at it!
