CouchDB to the Edge

on YouTube ↗55m

" summary

Claim: CouchDB stores full JavaScript apps as design documents so code and data replicate together. Demonstrated tools and results include couch_app clone/push to pull and deploy app source, attachments serving HTML/CSS/JS directly from the DB, mapreduce views and JS validations for queries and constraints, and resilient multi‑master replication that even runs over a 2G iPhone in one demo. Benchmarks show Erlang-based nodes handling ~85,000 concurrent connections vs Apache failing at 2–3k and deployments scale to millions of documents.
