We’re thrilled to announce that tarpipe is releasing eCouch as an Open Source project. eCouch was developed because other CouchDB Erlang applications didn’t satisfy our needs. eCouch is being released under the LGPL license, which means that you can use the code in proprietary software.

In a nutshell, eCouch is an Erlang application that provides an API to a CouchDB server. eCouch follows all the OTP design principles and can run stand-alone with its own supervision tree or be included inside an existing supervision tree. For more information, please visit the eCouch Google Code project.

Big thanks to:

• LShift, for their RFC 4627 (JSON) Erlang implementation
• Serge Aleynikov, for his fantastic article “Building a Non-blocking TCP server using OTP principle“
