# CouchDB configuration for Vault backend storage
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.
```hcl
storage "couchdb" {
endpoint = "https://my-couchdb-dns.tld:5984/my-database"
username = "admin"
password = "admin"
}
```
## `couchdb` parameters
- `endpoint` `(string: "")` Specifies your CouchDB endpoint. This can also be
provided via the environment variable `COUCHDB_ENDPOINT`.
- `username` `(string: "")` Specifies the user to authenticate as. This can
also be provided via the environment variable `COUCHDB_USERNAME`.
- `password` `(string: "")` Specifies the user to authenticate as. This can
also be provided via the environment variable `COUCHDB_PASSWORD`.
- `max_parallel` `(string: "128")` Specifies the maximum number of concurrent
