The chattiness is mostly addressed with _bulk_get in CouchDB 2.0 - Pouch will automatically use it if the server supports it. Another option is to stick a HTTP/2 proxy in front of your CouchDB instance - the chatter to…
There are a lot of use cases, particularly around multi-region/DC master-master replication, where CouchDB/Cloudant is a great fit. IBM also offers MongoDB, RethinkDB, Postgres as managed services and the MVCC/conflict…
I think there's a lot for you to like in 2.0. > The replication protocol, which supports multi-master, has changed little Basically true, though with many interoperating, independent datastores it's a tricky thing to…
possibly this has changed recently but I don't think medical records software is subject to the same standards as medical device software (in Europe, at least). It's important to remember that EMRs are there to support…
For MongoDB lovers, PouchDB supports MongoDB-style querying via https://github.com/nolanlawson/pouchdb-find. MongoDB doesn't have the fundamental sync primitives that CouchDB has so I wouldn't expect a similar solution…
That's fine for scaling reads - writes, not so much. The leader election in MongoDB has been problematic in the past (https://aphyr.com/posts/284-call-me-maybe-mongodb) but I think they have made recent moves to address…
ES isn't really meant to be used as an operational datastore (although I appreciate some do use it that way). CouchDB provides strong durability and master-master replication. It's also very easy to sync changes from…
Although it's been a quiet few years, the project is on the up again. 2014 was a big year for CouchDB - CouchDB 2.0 developer preview was released (more on this in a sec) [1], IBM acquired Cloudant (and has made it…
database-per-user is a common pattern with CouchDB. If you need to aggregate data across your users for reporting etc then you can use a server-side replication to create a "master" database which is only accessible to…
We (Cloudant) ran a Jepsen-style test against our clustered CouchDB implementation (similar to BigCouch). The write-up is at https://cloudant.com/blog/run-dmc-explains-network-partition.... The clustering layer is…
shameless plug: Cloudant Geo (https://cloudant.com/product/cloudant-features/geospatial/) uses a sharded R*-Tree for big geospatial data.
Have you looked at Cloudant (https://cloudant.com/)?
True - multi-master in CouchDB means that you can have two CouchDB instances (or, indeed, anything which speaks the CouchDB replication protocol - see http://www.replication.io/) which can be synced and, in the event of…

Just for clarity, the minimum 28 days in the UK is inclusive of the 8 bank holidays.
There was a recent statement on the plans to open up more data sets - see http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resource...
One problem is that as a vendor, we have to work to the lowest common denominator. It's still generally a requirement that you support IE6, despite the department of health encouraging hospitals to upgrade, because they…
As a vendor in the UK, we have been integrating the CUI for the last few years. The quality of the guidance is mixed - there is good evidence that having a "Patient Banner" in a consistent format prevents "right thing,…

It is possible to work in an agile manner with the NHS but it is not easy. I have been working for a small company selling software into NHS hiospitals for 7 years now, and we generally take a collaborative approach…
