CouchDB has proven to be a valuable tool in various industries and projects. For instance, it is widely used in the Big Data Insight Product Division for development and production environment setups. Its flexibility and scalability make it an attractive alternative to relational databases like MySQL, especially when handling large amounts of unstructured data. In media-oriented companies such as advertising and film, CouchDB is utilized to manage vast quantities of distributed and rapidly changing file sets.
Additionally, CouchDB finds its utility in mobile applications that require offline data storage. The sync capability of the database has been highly beneficial in ensuring seamless data availability even when users are offline. Legacy applications that previously relied on SQL databases have successfully migrated to CouchDB, resulting in improved response times. Another use case involves route planning for sales forces, where CouchDB serves as a central farm for mobile devices, with content partitioned per user.
Moreover, CouchDB plays a crucial role in storing time-series data for test sensor networks, while introducing users to non-SQL concepts and technologies. Its simplicity, ease of setup and configuration, and developer friendliness have made it the go-to NoSQL database server for globally used network testing and security products. Customers value CouchDB for its ability to save and access thousands of crucial documents representing vital information for their activities.
Furthermore, CouchDB is leveraged by Datawhere, a file intelligence platform that helps individuals and businesses find digital assets across platforms, devices, and geographic barriers. By working seamlessly with Logstash and Elasticsearch, CouchDB provides fast and powerful search functionality for customers. It also assists in storing a million SERP pages gathered daily and parsing them to find ads on each page.
Overall, CouchDB's diverse use cases span from social media analytics systems to file management in media-oriented companies, enabling offline data storage in mobile apps, facilitating database migration from SQL systems, supporting route planning for sales forces, storing time-series data for sensor networks, and serving as the main NoSQL information database server for global network testing and security products. Its versatility, reliability, and ease of use position it as a valuable tool in various domains.

CouchDB: If you're looking for a quick and dirty document oriented database management system (DDBMS) look no further!
- Price: With an internal development and support team, the cost of downloading, installing and configuring is very much cheaper than other, mainstream solutions.
- Speed of development: Getting Data into and out of this database is a breeze.
- Simplicity: understanding the mechanics of database management is very easy. If you understand JSON, then you can understand CouchDB in a few hours.

Easy to setup, flexible and highly available. All you need to do is relax on the CouchDB
- High availability cluster with replication capability virtually mitigates potential losses due to down-time.
- Cloud implementation provides a highly scalable solution which can optimize cost with resource allocation.

CouchDB for analytics
- Faster development. Since it's a schemaless system, it's easy to add new fields and change the data model, so long as views stay the same.
- Lower cost of ownership. Unlike paid systems, CouchDB is totally free and supported by the Apache Foundation. The only thing you need to pay for is the hardware it runs on.
- Easier integration with other services. CouchDB uses a HTTP API for everything, and since nearly all languages have well maintained HTTP libraries, it's easy to connect them to the database.

CouchDB - The Hidden Gem of NoSQL Databases
- Biggest impact on our business has been that CouchDB has been pretty invisible from a cost or issues perspective. It just works.
- We use the Apache releases, so it's free. Of course there is a cost to "free" - we have invested time to become fluent in using and understanding CouchDB. But we feel the investment was well worth the effort and we have a solid, fundamental technology to our products that "just works".
- There are some things we do - SaaS vs self-hosting - that have probably been kept simple by using CouchDB. Overall, we are extremely happy with CouchDB.

CouchDB has a worse performance than AWS S3
- It wasted our time.
- It was easier to switch to AWS S3 from couchDB than it was to switch to couchDB from a filesystem so it set us up for that.

CouchDB Fanboy
- It has saved us hours and hours of coding.
- It is has taught us a new way to look at things.
- It has taught us patience as the first few weeks with CouchDB were not pleasant. It was not easy to pick up like MongoDB.

Fast and reliable replacement as day to day DB.
- As a result of using CouchDB as backend for services, we need not worry about failures that often.
- The response time is the key for the user. Faster response helps serve customers better and reduce the call timings.

CouchDB, our data frenemy
- Positively, it's a data store that requires a minor setup process and data can be viewed inside the browser.
- It's also free and open source, so no extra products needed to get the stack set up.
- Negatively, due to majorly lacking search capabilities, our customer support teams needed a separate solution that rides on top of the CouchDB API to be able to search and view customers' records and activities.
