Ask HN: Is CouchDB dead?
11 points by y0ghur7_xxx on May 23, 2016 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
It seems to fit exactly our needs:

- document store with json api

- authentication and fine grained acls

We evaluated it and made a quick poc, and it is really awesome. The documentation is clear and well done, the performance is there, and it is so easy to get going everyone can pick it up in a few hours. But the latest version is two years old. Does someone know what is going on? Is it a dead project? We love it, but we don't want to build our web apps on a dead foundation.



[Architect from Couchbase]

As stated by jtolly710, Couchbase and Couchbase Mobile, which have foundations in CouchDB, are alive and well. Take a look at Couchbase, Couchbase Lite, and Sync Gateway and see if they meet your needs. If you want application level security and internet facing secure REST/Stream/Batch APIs Sync Gateway will be of particular interest. If you need a secure embedded NoSQL database Couchbase Lite will be of interest.

I started working with CouchDB a few years ago, and found it really nifty, but in our current startup, we find that the couchbase community edition suits our needs well, and the sync gateway is great for managing users and delegating permissions


Someone familiar please chime in.

I did evaluate it + pouchdb[0] is fantastic, but the 'lack of' / slow development make it showstopper.
