CouchDB is a schemaless document-oriented database that features a web server, JSON API, master-master replication, and is cross-platform. It uses CouchApps to combine CouchDB and standard web app practices. While CouchDB supports features like replication and a JSON API, it does not support sharding or have tools for bulk operations or merging replication conflicts. Current uses of CouchDB include log storage using log4net and storing configurations due to its simple replication and cluster deployment.
