Meebo is definitely interested/willing to talk about how we're using couchdb. We bounced around a couple ideas internally and came up with 3 different topics that we thought were interesting.
1) Using couch in a clustered environment (Couchdb-lounge). Our cluster has 11 boxes in it, with full redundancy. 2) We've been migrating all of our stats systems to be based on couchdb. The actual visualization code is served using couchapp. 3) For one of our recent projects, we've been using couch as an application store to keep separate parts of the application in sync. Whenever something is modified, we simply update a document in couch. Other pieces listen to _changes and update their state as necessary. This is really nice for two main reasons. All of our code is already asynchronous, so listening to _changes is pretty trivial to add support to. Also, it means that at any piece can be restarted without worrying about the state, since it's all stored in couch. It's made for (what we think) is a very elegant architecture. Of course, we're also more than happy to talk about our experiences with couch in production environments in general. vijay On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 1:18 PM, Chris Anderson <[email protected]> wrote: > Another one: > > It'd be great to have a flood of talk proposals and case studies at OSCON: > > Call for participation is open for another week or so. > http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2010 > > The conference is July 19-23rd in Portland Oregon.
