CouchDB is a scalable, fault-tolerant, and schema-free document-oriented database written in Erlang, a functional programming language with a focus on writing robust, fault tolerant and highly concurrent applications. CouchDB uses HTTP as its main programming interface and JSON for data storage. It is open-source database software that combines ease of use with a scalable architecture.
This course begins with a lesson on how to install, configure and use Apache CouchDB. Next, participants will create a CouchDB application to explore its features and learn how to maintain it. The course concludes with a lesson on troubleshooting.
