Budibase
Open-source low-code platform for building internal business apps, notable for using CouchDB as its primary datastore instead of the more common Postgres/MySQL choice seen elsewhere in this batch.

⚙ Full Stack
Node.js backend, Svelte frontend, CouchDB for app definitions and data (an unusual choice versus SQL-based peers), Redis for caching.
📈 Scaling Analysis
CouchDB's eventual-consistency, replication-first design is a legitimate scaling model but a very different operational mindset than the ACID Postgres stores most of its peers use — teams get multi-master replication for free but lose the strict-consistency guarantees they may expect from a business-app builder.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
App, couchdb, and redis pods are the minimum; set BUDIBASE_URL to the Nexlayer domain and reference couchdb.pod:5984 internally. mirror.gcr.io doesn't carry CouchDB — pull the official couchdb image directly or via a GAR-hosted mirror to avoid Docker Hub rate limits.
