CouchDB suits developers who need a flexible document database and replication between connected or intermittently connected peers. It is also suited to teams able to host and manage database servers or virtual machines.
JayDB may suit developers building static or AI-built apps that need per-user, session, or tenant data, including shared documents across users or workers. It is a limited fit for applications that require relational features, full-text search, or multi-document atomic writes.
