At this point why would you use CouchDB over something like MongoDB?
Seriously asking...
Over the past 5 years MongoDB has gotten a great storage engine, transactions, distributed transactions, multi master replication, first class change streams and is very very solid as a foundational piece of infrastructure you can rely on while CouchDB has languished. I can’t imagine reaching for it in my tool belt when I need a document store over MongoDB but I’m obviously biased so I’m wondering if there is a lot I’m missing.
Obviously it’s cool from a more open source databases standpoint — I love learning about how things are built and evolve over time.
