Surge 2010 ~ Availability, the Cloud and Everything

The talk will focus on how I (with the help of the entire Cloudant team) built our database service based on CouchDB on top of EC2. Specifically how we use Erlang, Chef, EC2 and other tools to build highly available and performant database clusters. This includes using Chef and Erlang's hot code upgrades to automate cluster-wide upgrades without restarting any services.

CouchDB From 10,000 Feet

Summary
This presentation takes a look at CouchDB from 10,000 ft. CouchDB is a document oriented database with a highly acclaimed REST API and replication support, that solves problems of high-traffic, distributed peer-to-peer, and offline applications. all at the same time. You will learn to decide when CouchDB is a good fit for your project and when you are better off with a traditional database.

CouchDB

Summary
CouchDB is a schema-free document database. But now that the NoSQL movement is in full swing, there are several document databases to choose from, so why choose Couch? Two things really set CouchDB apart from the rest: its map/reduce views and its RESTful API. Since the API is RESTful, you can easily use Couch from any platform that can talk HTTP. The benefits go way beyond that, though.

Velocity 09: Adam Jacob and Ezra Zygmuntowicz, "Infrastructure in the Cloud Era"

Web Operations is always moving forward, at the cutting edge of every major trend. The latest leap is having a fully automated infrastructure – lightning fast provisioning, integrated monitoring & trending, and trivial application deployment.

Utilizing a mixture of open source tools (such as Chef, Nanite, CouchDB, and RabbitMQ) and battle-tested techniques, Adam and Ezra will show you how to build an infrastructure that’s easy to manage, integrates with your application, and is self-documenting. Along the way, they’ll give you the key insights you need to get maximum benefit from these technologies for your business.

The speakers come from two companies well-known in this space. Engine Yard is moving to the cloud – in addition to their own internal hosting offering they built their stellar reputation on. Opscode brings “infrastructure automation to the masses”. Born from years of experience building fully automated infrastructure for dozens of startups, they are the creators of Chef.

acts_as_conference 2009: Relaxing with CouchDB

Will believes that CouchDB, and other document databases, are going to continue to grow in popularity in the future, and it’s important that we as developers are familiar with it so we’re able to use it when appropriate. CouchDB is easy to get running and use so there’s no excuse not to have it in your toolbox. The goal of this talk is to get you excited about CouchDB, and help point you in the right direction. CouchDB and Rails will briefly discuss the background of CouchDB, its features, how it differs from what developers are used to, when to use it, and when not to use it. Will will also show a demo app along with code to help get you started.

About Will

Summary
In this interview, Damien Katz talks about CouchDB, a distributed, fault tolerant, document oriented database developed by Apache Incubator. CouchDB is written in Erlang, and the database is accessed through an HTTP/JSON API. The database view engine is run on JavaScript, but other languages have been used like Ruby and Python.

MountainWest RubyConf 2008: Next Generation Data Storage with CouchDB

CouchDB is designed for highly concurrent, distributed and fault tolerant systems. The core principles for scaling database applications are the foundation of CouchDB's feature set. It supports on- and offline replication, data partitioning, a REST interface that uses JSON for data transport (Web 2.0 anyone?), a fault tolerant runtime environment built on Erlang/OTP and a sophisticated view engine for fast data access and reporting.
