#Sharding is (another) one of the things that makes Apache CouchDB such a scalable distributed database 📐 It’s an architectural consideration that very few DBs make as automatic and transparent as CouchDB. We cover, in depth: - what shards are  - how #CouchDB uses them - and performance gains and trade-offs in our new post: https://lnkd.in/euuWEMyt 

Congratulations Apache CouchDB 🥳 🎉 Apache CouchDB ’s application to Sovereign Tech Agency’s Tech Resilience program was successful! We can’t wait to share details of CouchDB’s enhanced durability once improvements are shipped. If you want to do the same for your #FOSS project, take a look at the requirements and apply: https://lnkd.in/epwEExyb 

It’s a wrap on September! Find out what the Apache CouchDB community has been getting up to this month 🗞️ We get introduced to a CouchDB rules engine by Mark Headd, discover why “sync” is the word of the moment from Adam Wiggins and learn about Benoit Chesneau’s couchbeam client library for Erlang.

What if your database just… worked? 🤔 User data isn’t lost… It’s easy to use on the web… It has built-in sync, for #OfflineFirst and #LocalFirst apps from day 1… And it’s got a proven track-record… Some of you know it already exists — it’s CouchDB! ✨ Learn what Apache CouchDB is, plus find all the latest tooling on our blog: 📄 # 1 Introduction: https://lnkd.in/egvUUdPf     📄 # 2 Guiding Principles & Use Cases: https://lnkd.in/efH5xzKb   📄 # 3 Community & Ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/etZTxnPE

📣 Here’s one for all FOSS maintainers and contributors based in the EU 🌍 The Sovereign Tech Agency is currently accepting funding proposals from communities who want to enhance their software’s resilience through: 🧱 contributions 🐛 bug bounties 🔍 code audits Requirements & application: https://lnkd.in/epwEExyb If your application is successful, we might be your implementation partner 🙌 Good luck to all! 

Our own Jan Lehnardt presented “How to Sync Anything” at the latest #LocalFirst Meetup. The talk introduced two major approaches to replication and the idiosyncrasies of working with each. No presentation on reliable replication is complete without Apache CouchDB, of course! Catch the full recording to learn why CouchDB handles reliable replication so well out-of-the-box: https://lnkd.in/e5rxF-Mn And don’t miss the article it’s based on: https://lnkd.in/e2Rs7NHs 

This is the most fun you’ll  have choosing your next stack: https://lnkd.in/eBzAMYYd And we’re pleased to share that you'll find Apache CouchDB and PouchDB in the mix too! You can use filters to make sure you’re maximising compatibility when choosing tools for your next build. Thanks to Johannes Schickling and localfirst.fm for putting it together ✨ #LocalFirst #OfflineFirst #Stack

🗞️ August’s CouchDB Digest is out! Read on to find the month’s tips, tools and news, including another authentication method, Google Cloud updates for CouchDB and what to consider when data modelling.

It’s easier than ever to share your Apache CouchDB user story! In the last CouchDB user survey, we learned that case studies and stories are your favourite things to read. So we put together a structured form to remove friction and help get your words out. Be the next storyteller 🧙 and share with fellow developers how you use CouchDB: https://lnkd.in/gqVGjraS If you're looking for inspiration — as either a writer or CouchDB user — take a look at the most recent addition. Chirag Moradiya tells us how Hisab uses CouchDB’s replication features to equip small businesses for success with offline-first tools: https://lnkd.in/gH-a9zS5 Thank you again, Chirag! We can’t wait to read from who will write next. 

Apache Log4j is the Java logging library of choice — and we got to contribute! Thanks to support from the Sovereign Tech Agency, last year we were lucky enough to work on the internet’s favourite Java logging framework. Our impact will be felt most by maintainers, who we hope have been enjoying upgraded test suites. Read more about what we got up to, and hear from our team: https://lnkd.in/e-sez8Bx
