Pros and Cons of CouchDB

asp.net-mvc, couchdb

Solution

There is a little comparism of CouchDB with other NoSQL databases. Here you'll find a practical experience report comparing MongoDB and CouchDB. And you might also have a look into this article from a web developer perspective. (Maybe they are all a little outdated.)

Problem

I'm looking at using CouchDB as a backend of an ASP.NET web API/web app which uses JSON heavily. I'm interested in the pros and cons in terms of: - replication - platform dependency (currently all our servers are Windows 2003) - ease of use (are there .NET libraries around?) The application is not very transaction-intensive, probably about 100-200 CRUDs an hour.
