Post 1.0 CouchDB Roadmap
Even if CouchDB reached recently its 1.0 release, that doesn’t mean it is feature complete. Mathias Meyer[1]
has put together a list of 10 things that should be improved in CouchDB:
- views are updated on read access
- no automatic compaction
- no partial updates
- no built-in way to scale up
[2]- pagination is awkward
- range queries are awkward
- no CommonJS available in MapReduce functions
- all reads go to disk (i.e. no caching)
- unhelpful error messages
CouchDB core developer and Couchio co-founder, Jan Lehnardt’s reaction is encouraging though:
Great roadmap for us! :)

- To deal with this same feeling, I’ve published a detailed scaling CouchDB article (↩)
