Hands On Workshop: Introduction to Apache CouchDB

Presentation

Apache CouchDB / Cloudant Slides

Prerequisites

  1. IBM Cloud #: Use this link to #to your account if you already have one : https://ibm.biz/Bdqn4r
  2. Postman to finish workshop
  3. I also really like Insomia
  4. Load existing workspace into postman or insomnia and change environment variables.
  5. Create database and load person.json into the database. You should get 1000 person records. I used Mockaroo to generate this random data.

Optional

  1. Run couchdb locally

    1. docker pull couchdb
    2. docker run -d --name my-couchdb -e COUCHDB_USER=admin -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password -p 5984:5984 couchdb
    3. docker ps 
      CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                        NAMES
35c8c7264fa9        couchdb             "tini -- /docker-ent…"   6 seconds ago       Up 6 seconds        4369/tcp, 9100/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5984->5984/tcp   my-couchdb

  2. Visit Futon localhost:5984/_utils/

  3. Create users database locally

  4. Configure replication

    Don't forget to add database name to the end of the URL.

    {
    "source" : "https://$USERNAME1:$PASSWORD1.example.com/db",
    "target" : "https://$USERNAME2:$PASSWORD2@$ACCOUNT2.cloudant.com/db",
}

Join IBM Developer SF to get an introduction to Apache CouchDB - an open-source document-oriented database software that focuses on ease of use and having a scalable architecture.

A database in CouchDB is not a group of tables, but a collection of documents (JSON objects). We will use Cloudant, a hosted version on IBM Cloud, for the demo to avoid spending time installing locally.

We will look at how to create a simple CRUD application in CouchDB and then explore more advance features including:

  1. Design Documents to transform, update and validate documents
  2. Views to query documents using MapReduce
  3. Mango Query Server to write JSON queries
  4. HTTP API that makes CouchDB ideal for the web
