The Road to Hype: How NoSQL became Serverless

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

CouchDB adopts JSON over HTTP, embeds SpiderMonkey to run JavaScript MapReduce and exposes per-document URLs so replication and global sync work out of the box; the CouchApps idea ships server-side JS and static apps but fails because the compile/deploy loop kills developer ergonomics and funding never follows. Mustache → Handlebars spawns client templating, NPM originates as a CouchApp, Hoodie packages offline-first features but loses ground to Parse/Firebase; tooling wins too: semantic-release and greenkeeper automate multi-package maintenance.
