What is NoSQL and why do we like it so much?
NoSQL was developed with the rise of the internet as a response to the growing demand of big data storage, the necessity for agility and the ability to grow while staying online, which is a requirement for real-time applications. A few other terms to classify NoSQL would be: non-relational database, cloud database or Big Data database. CouchDB on its end can be categorized as a document oriented database.
What we treasure in NoSQL is its scalability, fault tolerance and availability, which makes it the high performance alternative to relational databases (RDBMS e.g.MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Database).
