CouchDB Case Study: iWantMyName
New CouchDB case study from registrar iWantMyName where CouchDB is used for:
- managing user preferences
- serving content pages (using views)
- basic CMS thanks to advanced CouchDB replication
After getting comfortable with CouchDB, and realizing how easy it was, the team at iWantMyName decided to move more and more of their infrastructure towards CouchDB. Their stack is now at about 80% CouchDB driven and they are working on the rest. They are constantly creating content, and the ability to update, change and publish this content in an easy and fast manner is key for a startup.

-
Easybib (online bibliography service): migrations during product lifetime (10 years) were painful , so schema-less represented a big win
-
Meebo (online IM): schema-less, replication support and friendly REST interface
