CouchDB on Windows?

I started exploring CouchDB and I am interested in following:

  1. Is there or will there be a Windows install?
  2. If there is, is there a shared hosting provider that offers CouchDB?
  3. Not knowing much about it, can it be somehow embedded in my application or bin deployed (don't laugh).

  1. The most reliable source is the CouchDB download page
  2. There are several places offering CouchDb hosting. Besides Cloudant, you can use most Infrastructure-as-a-Service parties like Google, AWS, etc.
  3. This question was asked (and answered) elsewhere on StackOverflow here and here.

There's been a fully compatible Windows build of CouchDB shortly after every source release, since the initial 1.0.0 release over 18 months ago. You can get this directly from the Apache CouchDB mirrors http://couchdb.apache.org/ now.

NB the embedded test suite is actually for developer testing; due to subtle timing constraints not all tests will pass first time round on every machine. In the next release of CouchDB, the tests will be done outside the browser which will be both simpler and more robust.

Please up-vote this so we have the right information to hand.
