couchdb databases monitoring

What is Apache CouchDB?

Apache CouchDB is an open-source NoSQL database that focuses on ease of use and embracing the web. It is document-oriented, meaning it stores data as documents within the database, as opposed to tables and rows in a traditional relational database.

Designed for the web, CouchDB uses various protocols for data transfer, storage, and processing, including HTTP, JSON, and JavaScript/MapReduce. Its ability to distribute data across multiple servers makes it highly scalable and reliable, making it a popular choice for web applications.
