Day 29: CouchDB … sort of
To cap off this month-long journey, I planned a NoSQL double-header with CouchDB and Riak, the last two technologies on my list. I decided to tackle Couch first, but, like Barry Sanders in his heyday, it opted not to be tackled. I couldn’t get the ICU library to build with Homebrew despite an hour of effort, which made installing Couch impossible. It looks like this is an established problem with Homebrew, so I fully expect this will all just work next week, just in time for me to not give a damn.
It’s too bad, too. I was really looking forward to working through this tutorial. It looks like MongoDB wins the battle of the document-oriented databases by virtue of showing up.
