CouchHack was a small CouchDB hacker event planned for April 19th - 22nd, 2009, in Asheville NC.

"We are impressed by CouchDB's use of "pure" web technologies, and are considering CouchDB for a future backend for our BlueInk Content Management System."

We run some major infrastructure in our company with CouchDB backends - e.g. the image above (was) served from a CouchDB instance. We are gratefull to the superb CouchDB team and wish them happy hacking!

Work done at the CouchHack

• Split main.js out into lots of little file. (And then Jan taught me how Makefile work)

• Adding a batch PUT mode (which delays commit so that we can do a bulk index update)
