Unconventional architectures that might scale (I) at log4p

Unconventional architectures that might scale (I) at log4p: "Amazon has it's SimpleDB, Ruby folks seem to like MongoDB and rumors about the rising of Voldemort are spreading throughout the web. I like CouchDB, mainly due to the fact that it's build on a solid functional language (Erlang).

CouchDB offers a JSON based document model. Documents are manipulated using REST. CouchDB also offers support for replication between other instances. Custom views of the document in the database (also accessed via HTTP) are written in Javascript (where JSON is a native data structure)."
