Scaling Out CouchDB with BigCouch

Here are the video and slides from the 10/22 O'Reilly webcast "Scaling Out CouchDB with BigCouch". Here is the description of the webcast pulled from the webcast page.

A common complaint raised by CouchDB skeptics is that "it doesn't scale," by which they mean it does not scale horizontally across many servers. This feature is necessary if CouchDB is to be used for Big Data problems. Cloudant has recently released BigCouch, its native horizontal scalability layer for CouchDB, as an open source project. BigCouch allows you to create clusters of CouchDBs that are distributed over an arbitrary number of servers. This talk will cover the basics of BigCouch, including deploying and managing your first CouchDB cluster, as well as some advanced features like quorum reads/writes and design patterns for distributed couchdb. Finally, for the erlang hackers out there, we'll discuss the internals of BigCouch, which will hopefully allow you to start contributing back to the project.
