couchbase-v-mongo

An evaluation of Couchbase and MongoDB from a development perspective.

Components

Vagrant

Each box is self contained, meaning it has its own copy of the data, REST server, and UI.

  1. 'mongodb'
  2. 'couchbase'

Node.js

The middle tier, or data access layer, is written in Node.js with Express for the REST API server.

AngularJS

The webapp is built with Angular, and is identical between the two environments. Gotta love REST APIs.
