Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 09:18:09 +1000 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.936) X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV using ClamSMTP X-MailGuard-UID: 4e1b84b94d94e3b0 X-MailGuard-ID: 4e1b84ba534572 X-Filtered: by MailGuard - visit http://www.mailguard.com.au X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org X-Old-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.2 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,AWL autolearn=ham version=3.2.5 I'd like to build a rather substantial application, it would be nice to build it as a pure 2 tier CouchApp. How practical is this really? Does anyone have experience building anything big in this way? Or are 2 tier CouchApps really only effective for small stuff? I understand that it very much depends on what the app does, but I'm trying to get a general sense of it. If pure 2 tier CouchDB apps is an impractical goal then we'll design the architecture from the beginning as a 3 tier app and whack in some sort of server. as
