🆚 CouchDB vs. Redis

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.

Redis is a popular high-performance in-memory key-value database that persists on disk.

It supports rich data structures beyond simple strings, offers master-replica replication, clustering across up to thousands of nodes via hash-slot sharding, and automatic failover.
