High Performance CouchDB
At Couchio we are working with a company that makes high performance database appliances. These are complete system stacks where all the components, software and interconnects are carefully chosen, modified and optimized. They can deliver performance and scalability that's often an order of magnitude better than what can be accomplished by assembling your own systems with commodity components, and reducing overall hardware and admin costs.
So if you are a user of Apache CouchDB and are interested in high performance CouchDB servers, we'd love to talk with you to help us shape our plans and offerings, and potentially join an early adopters program. Email me at damien@couch.io.

Announcing New Erlang Native GeoCouch
An idea has become reality. Exactly two years after the blog post with the initial vision, a new version of GeoCouch is finished. It's a huge step forward. The first time the dependencies were narrowed down to CouchDB itself. No Python, no SpatiaLite any longer, it's pure Erlang. GeoCouch is tightly integrated with CouchDB, so you'll get all the nice features you love about CouchDB.
Awesome work Volker!
Google Denies Our Commercial
Recently Chris and Claire produced a commercial for Couchio and CouchDB.
We tried to run it on real TV via Google AdWords, but they denied it:

I think it's that they just can't handle our awesomeness, but they claim it's something about the audio. I'm thinking we'll resubmit with the lyrics scrolling at the same time, so there is no confusion what's being sung.
