Using couches

[et...@gmail.com]

Hello, 
I'm a product manager in a corporate organization in Israel.
We are building an architecture to our new software project and one of the big issues like always is to decide which db is the most suitable for us.
CouchDB seems like a good choice especially due to its master-master capabilities and its filtered replication.
Our project is one of the most important and central project in our organization. 
My biggest concerns about choosing couchdb are:
1. Lack of support in cases of crises - payment is not an issue.
2. Not enough customers using CouchDB.
2. It seems like CouchDB is not growing is the last 2 years. A year ago a developer preview version has been released for CouchDB 2.0 and there is not enough activity since.

Hope you can help me with my concerns.
Thanks...

I've used couchdb in production for 3 years now.  It's the most reliable part of our architecture.  Cloud ant is good for proof of concept but I wouldn't use for production.  It's easy enough to spin up your own stack on AWS and have all the resources for your own app plus have better control over security.

I just recently upgraded to 1.6.  Not sure why I would need 2.0.

Hi Etay,

You probably want to look at: https://cloudant.com/

Also possibly want to follow the blog on activitities:
https://blog.couchdb.org/

At the "Issue tracker" you can see that there is quite some activity:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CouchDB/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel

I will let others comment on the specific plans on 2.0.

Hope that sheds some light :)


Br,
Sinan
