CouchDB Performance Database Monitoring

Apache CouchDB is open source database software that has a document-oriented NoSQL database architecture and is implemented in the concurrency-oriented language Erlang; it uses JSON to store data, JavaScript as its query language using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API.  Telegraf can be used for CouchDB performance monitoring.

CouchDB Basics

CouchDB drastically alters how you build document-based applications. It combines an intuitive document storage model with a powerful query engine.

CouchDB’s design borrows heavily from web architecture and the concepts of resources, methods, and representations. It augments this with powerful ways to query, map, combine, and filter your data, in addition to providing fault tolerance, extreme scalability, and incremental replication.

CouchDB is a great fit for common applications—such as contacts, invoices, or receipts—since it embraces the natural idea of evolving, self-contained documents as the core of its data model.
