Apache CouchDB, the NoSQL database lauded for its speed and querying capacities, but derided for potentially lax default security choices, just rolled out a 3.0 release that addresses the security questions head-on, making the database now “secure by default.”
The CouchDB 3.0 release also addresses some of the database’s horizontal scalability constraints, improves its native full-text search system, and adds other performance optimizations.
