Economy Size Geek

CouchDb Project Website

I haven’t used this (yet) but I have to admit it scores well on the current geek hot topic list since it combines a real REST API, MapReduce, and Erlang all in one system.

I was raised on the web in the world of relational databases so it is really hard to bend my brain to understand how and why you would use something like this - but it touches so many topics all in once I’m going to have to fire it up at some point.
