Why exactly? I think the overhead of the DBs is rather small. It's not like having a MySQL DB for every user ;)
Also, you can achieve something like "global data" as well: Either replicate from users' DBs to a shared DB or maybe make some kind of "system" user that has access to the users' DBs. I'm not an expert, but that's what I figured out so far with my limited experience.
- tarr11 10y agoPerformance-wise, i think it's probably fine. But it doesn't play well with any kind of group permissions. Things are either owned by a user or they are almost impossible to sync. Let's say you are making a CRM with couch/pouch. Let's say that you have permissions to see a Customer record, but it is shared across your company. How do you sync that? It's not owned by a user, it's owned by the company. What happens if permissions change?
