What Are the Benefits of Building CouchApps?
Bradley Holt[1]:
Streamlining of your codebase (no middle tier), replication, the ability to deploy/replicate an application along with its data, and the side benefits that come with going “with the grain” of how the web works are some of the benefits of building CouchApps.
The interview mentions also the potential of using CouchDB on Android and iOS platforms. CouchOne released back in September CouchDB for Android and then 6 months later—and after the merger with Membase—iOS Mobile Couchbase.

NoSQL Twitter Applications
Everyone is building these days a Twitter-like or Twitter-related project using some NoSQL solution. I guess they can use as a ‘scientific’ explanation for these experiments Nati Shalom’s (Gigaspaces) great ☞ post on the common principles behind NoSQL alternatives (the post was inspired by his talk at QCon on building a scalable Twitter application. The presentation is embedded below).
MusicTweets ☞
Even if the project code is not available and I couldn’t get the mentioned online version to work, I’d say that the combination of Redis and HTML5 WebSockets is making it worth mentioning. And it case you cannot get it to work either, there is a screencast for it:
TStore ☞
TStore is a twitter search result backup tool build in Python and CouchDB. The source code is available on ☞ GitHub.
Retwis ☞
Retwis is a non-distributed Twitter clone built in PHP and using Redis. The source code and extended details about the implementation are available ☞ here.
According to this page, there is already a port of this solution to Ruby and Sinatra: ☞ Retwis-RB.
Update: Thanks to @koevert, now the list includes also a java port of Retwis: ☞ twayis
Floxee ☞
Floxee is a commercial tweetstream search and tagging platform built using MongoDB. You can read a bit more about MongoDB usage ☞ here
I am pretty sure I haven’t found all Twitter-like/Twitter-related NoSQL apps out there, so please feel free to send me more. I’ll be happy to update the post.
And in case you are not interested in NoSQL Twitter applications, then you can check the MongoDB-based forum/message-boards apps.
