See http://www.ajatus.info/ http://www.ajatus.info/ for a personal CRM based on CouchDB. Make sure to read the manifesto. For what it solves for me: It's schemaless structure allows me to develop and deploy much faster, because I don't have to spread my data across tables and find the correct and fastest JOINs to get the data back. Online replication makes high-availability a snap, the same goes for load distribution. Offline replication saves me from DB syncing issues when there's no network. Being alpha software, it does not yet have a full fledged permission and authentication system (though planned and prepared for, it is not yet implemented) and I really wish it did, but that's going to be a matter of time. Is it better than a traditional RDBMS? That's the wrong question in general. It is another tool and if it fits your problem is for you to decide. I still use plenty of relational databases.
