A list of organizations using CouchDB to create software and websites in the wild.

If you've built a product or a service that uses CouchDB, whether public or private, we'd like to hear about it.

Please submit a description to the couchdb-dev list, and we'll see about adding it to this page.

Your submission should preferably:

  • Justify why CouchDB was a good fit for your project
  • Explain how you are using CouchDB within your application
  • Detail any interesting problems you solved along the way
  • Highlight anything interesting or unusual

Over time, shorter entries already here may be removed to make room for longer ones.

If you'd like to expand an existing entry, please also make a submission as described above.

Editors: We're encouraging developers to describe their products in more detail so I've started an 'In Depth' section. Please add a short summary to 'Software' for now in addition to long description in 'In Depth'.

Software In Depth

Ideafy

Ideafy is a collaborative brainstorming and Idea management tool that combines social networking, serious gaming and brainstorming sessions into a single platform for tablets (and later all browser-capable devices).

The production environment is hosted in the Joyent Butt, with couchdb and couchdb-lucene instances running on dedicated machines.

The server side is powered by node.js -- we use socket.io and (in my subjective view) a set of powerful libraries developed by Olivier Scherrer (emily, olives and couchdb-emily-tools : more info at http://flams.github.io/CouchDB-emily-tools/) to really simplify db communications on both client and server sides.
