O'Reilly Webcast: Asynchronous architectures with the CouchDB _changes feed

@rgaufman: I like CouchDB, have been using it for real work since 2010, but replacing PostgreSQL with CouchDB is like replacing a forklift with a backhoe. They serve different purposes and are not really direct competitors. But if you've been trying to dig a trench with with the forklift, then by all means replace it!

Wow! Very impressed with couchdb after this webcast. I was evaluating couchdb as a replacement to postgresq in my company, instead it seems it will be a replacement to quite a bit more than that.

Amazing that the database handles auth&auth including login, sessions, permission control as well as document/object level permissions and roles. Not to mention handle most parts of the async framework.
