relax on couch(db)

We write software to improve our lives and the lives of others. 

At first glance, CouchDB is very strange database. It's document oriented, everything in JSON and even more - they say "Let’s curl on the couch and relax". Curl is a programme to access the database from the command line. Relax seems to be crucial word for this database. After installing it you can see: "Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax". In fact CouchDB is an acronym for cluster of unreliable commodity hardware. This database is a new approach and nurse an ambition to be commonly used. It's an alternative to RDBMS.
