Introduction to Apache CouchDB

Apache CouchDB is an open source NoSQL database that speaks JSON natively and supports binary data. It’s designed to scale and replicate seamlessly to enable offline-first user-experiences. In this virtual meetup, IBM’s Upkar Lidder will offer a hands-on introduction on how to use Apache CouchDB.

Introduction to Apache CouchDB

NoSQL databases are used in most modern stacks. We will look Apache CouchDB in this hands-on webinar. There is no installation needed if you want to follow along, as we will use a hosted version of CouchDB.
