node.js + CouchDB == Crazy Delicious
summary
Node.js HTTP implementation outperforms curl and handles tens to hundreds of thousands of concurrent connections, making it a natural match for CouchDB’s HTTP-only API. A lightweight node sync script watches files and pushes attachments into design documents with node file watchers, keeping development fast and memory-stable. A fork-per-design-document process consumes the continuous _changes feed to perform external work (send email, update state) so actions are reliable and apps stay functional offline via CouchDB replication; Android SDK is in beta.
