About the Book

This is the home of a free O’Reilly Media book about Apache CouchDB.

The book is designed to guide you gently through using CouchDB with clear but practical scenarios. We progressively showcase key features, starting with simple document CRUD, working through to advanced MapReduce, and culminate with deployment tuning for performance and reliability.

This book is a work in progress. The number of chapters linked below reflect our progress.

We’re mainly looking for high level commentary on the topics covered and on our clarity, tone, and pacing. Our editor will take care of spelling and other nitpicks.
