About

Apache CouchDB is an open-source, document-oriented NoSQL database that stores data as JSON documents and exposes a RESTful HTTP API for application access.

It features multi-version concurrency control, masterless replication with bi-directional sync, automatic conflict detection, map-reduce views for indexing and queries, pluggable storage engines, and supports clustering with horizontal scaling across multiple nodes.

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system currently owned by Oracle.

It supports ACID transactions via the InnoDB storage engine, provides support for stored procedures, triggers, views, high availability through replication and clustering, and can scale to tables with billions of rows.
