CouchDB Powered by GlobalSolutions

CouchDB is one of the most popular NoSQL database servers. It falls under the category of document-oriented databases, designed for ease of use, scalability, and high availability. CouchDB uses JSON to store data, JavaScript as its query language using MapReduce, and HTTP for its API. Documents are the primary unit of data in CouchDB and include metadata. Document fields are uniquely named and contain values of varying types, with no set limit on text size or element count.

CouchDB provides the simplest form of replication — no other database is as easy to replicate. It follows all the features of ACID properties and provides database-level security where permissions are divided into readers and admins. CouchDB also supports session cookie-based authentication similar to a web application.

We have ensured the image is hardened to be secured from all existing vulnerabilities.
