Seems like you're confusing Couchbase Mobile and Couchbase Server. And that
wasn't a sales person that responded. It was the head of Couchbase Mobile

Probably. But is that really my fault?

There is CouchDB, CouchIO, CouchOne, Couchbase, Couchbase Server, Couchbase
Mobile, Couchbase Lite, CouchApps, BigCouch, Touchbase, Membase, Memcached,
MemcacheDB... all different and yet related in a way not at all obvious from
the names alone.

First there was CouchDB, a database created by Damien Katz, a former IBM
developer. Its official name was changed to Apache CouchDB after it became an
Apache project.

A company named CouchIO was founded to work on Apache CouchDB and later
changed its name to CouchOne (by "its name" I mean the company name - not the
database name).

CouchOne (formerly CouchIO) merged with Membase (formerly NorthScale) to form
a new company called Couchbase. Membase (the company) developed Membase (a
product of the same name). Membase was created by several leaders of the
Memcached project and it used the Memcached protocol. After the merger of
CouchOne and Membase, Couchbase continued the development of the Membase
software and later changed its name to Couchbase Server.

Today I think most people believe that Couchbase Server is a new version of
CouchDB but it is in fact a new version of Membase. It still uses the
Memcached protocol and not the RESTful API of CouchDB. Meanwhile CouchDB is
still CouchDB, actively

A company named CouchIO was fougsec no work on Apache CouchDB anc paygr
