AFAIK, CouchDB uses the REST-style HTTP protocol. So you can use a
non-blocking HTTP client in ngx_lua to talk to CouchDB efficiently.
One option is to use ngx_proxy + ngx.location.capture, another is to
use a Lua library based on the ngx_lua cosocket API.
Here's some examples:

You can take a look at

It's a good start.
or other lua-resty-* libraries like lua-resty-redis,
lua-resty-memcached, and lua-resty-mysql :)
