CouchDB is far from "dead".

  I thought when it failed to actually scale, and its fundamental point is scaling, it would be fair to say it was no longer a useful technology?

    CouchDB 2.0 was released (in theory) to fix that long-standing issue with couch.

    > "when it failed to scale" Hmm, well I saw it scale great. It is very much useful to me. It hasn't lost a single write in years since I've been using it. Along with Basho's Riak is probably the only database that has master-to-master replication done right. Has built-in web interface for administration and data viewing. Ok, I'll bite then, so what's "useful" technology?

      Here's a (not quite recent) story of somebody abandoning CouchDB when it exceeded one instance: https://blog.hipchat.com/2013/10/16/how-hipchat-scales-to-1-billion-messages/ https://blog.hipchat.com/2013/10/16/how-hipchat-scales-to-1-... So maybe my info is out of date if 2.0 fixes this.

        did you read that blog you posted? They still use couchdb and never say they even attempted to use it on multiple instances; just that they ran out of AWS capacity to keep growing their one massive instance. They stopped using the couch-lucene search integration.
