Apache CouchDB offers high availability, excellent throughput and scalability. These goals were achieved using immutable data structures – but they have a price: disk space. CouchDB was designed under the assumption that disk space is cheap. Though it is indeed getting cheaper and cheaper, it is not infinite. Here’s a tip to reduce CouchDB database files’ disk consumption.
When a CouchDB document is updated, the new version gets a new revision number, while the old one stays in the database. To get rid of those old revisions, database compaction can be used:
However, there is more that can be done. Here is a table showing the increase in size of a CouchDB database file when adding a single revision of a document (100 byte raw data), depending on the revision:

With CouchDB 1.2, it is also possible to configure automatic compaction.However, there is more that can be done.
