The NoSQL buzzword caught fire just a few short years ago, but we're already well into the second generation of the movement. While the early stacks of code were just experiments, the systems today are much more mature, ready for action, and facing the hard truths of a technology that's come of age - so much so that some of the best NoSQL data stores have already been rewritten, and a few are even sticking the 2.0 label on the latest version.

CouchDB
CouchDB data arrives in JavaScript's JSON format, its queries are written in JavaScript, and the data goes back in JSON. It's a database built for the Web and the people who program it. (Sidenote: Some use CouchDB offline in the background of mobile apps.) CouchDB stores key/value pairs and propagates them over the nodes, offering eventual consistency. There's also a more commercial cousin, Couchbase, that offers caching, better sharding, incremental queries, better indices, and a few more features.
