One of the things that I love about Couch is that the standard way to shutdown the process is simply doing a kill -9 on the server process. No data loss. No Worries. Want to back up your data? rsync it and be done with it.
Couch may have its warts, but it is damn reliable.
- maxogden 15y agoI've heard from many people that with Couch you get "all of your disappointment up front"

- itaborai83 15y agoI feel that Couch has too much server side programming. It can be off puting sometimes. If anyone wants to make some money, I'd suggest them putting a server on top of a couch cluster that receives mongo queries. I mean, how hard can it be to 1) Manage some indexes, 2) Keep some metadata around and 3) Build some half-assed single index query planner? Couch is already a solid piece of technology. It just needs a better API to "sit" on top of it, kinda like what Membase is doing now. edit: or on top of Riak, Cassandra, PostgreSQL or etc ... on the API side, Mongo has clearly won.
