title: MongoDB or CouchDB - fit for production?
body: <p>I was wondering if anyone can tell me if <em><a href="http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Home" rel="noreferrer">MongoDB</a></em> or <em><a href="http://couchdb.apache.org/" rel="noreferrer">CouchDB</a></em> are ready for a <strong>production</strong> environment.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm now looking at these storage solutions (I'm favouring MongoDB at the moment), however these projects are quite young and so I foresee that I'm going to have to work quite hard to convince my manager that we should adopt this new technology.</p>
  
  <p>What I'd like to know is:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Who is using MongoDB or CouchDB today in a production environment?</p></li>
  <li><p>How are you using MongoDB/CouchDB?</p></li>
  <li><p>What problems (if any) did you come across when you adopted this new storage mechanism (and how did you overcome them)?</p></li>
  <li><p>How did you deal with any migration issues that you had to deal with?</p></li>
  <li><p>Do you have any good/bad experiences with either of these solutions that you'd like to share?</p></li>
  </ol>
