Disagree. First, comparison is not correct, if wall could be built in 2 hours that's not a real product, even hackathons require day or more to build "semi-demo-product". I recommend you watching "Simple made Easy" by Rich Hickey. You could select easy way and do it faster, but eventually your solution will be broken. If task was sorting 10 numbers(static numbers), you have 3 options - do it manually - write small program(everything in main()) - design some architecture for APIs and do sorting which one do you prefer? your comparison is like so. P.S. I am not native speaker sorry for mistakes.

Thanks, by the way as an experienced developer what would be your stack if you wanted to start your own. After reading comments here, posts in other places, I am going to stick with Python/Django/PostgreSQL+PostGIS/ElasticSearch and django-tastypie for REST backend, for activity stream maybe django-activity-stream for the beginning, since I am only one member now :), I do not want to reinvent bicycle.

Thanks for great explanation of couchbases disadvantages :), I have read a lot about couchbase and how it is good, but real production is not an ideal, so thanks.

Can you tell me yours if possible and what kind of product you are building
