# CouchDB Storage Backend
|
||
|
||
The CouchDB storage backend is used to persist Vault's data in
|
||
[CouchDB][couchdb] table.
|
||
|
||
- **No High Availability** – the CouchDB backend does not support high
|
||
availability.
|
||
|
||
- **Community Supported** – the CouchDB storage backend is supported by the
|
||
community. While it has undergone review by HashiCorp employees, they may not
|
||
be as knowledgeable about the technology. If you encounter problems with them,
|
||
you may be referred to the original author.
