Your mission, should you choose to accept it: contribute to Couchbase open source this <\/span>Hacktoberfest<\/span><\/a> and dive deep into<\/span> IDEs, web frameworks, CLIs and more<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couchbase has a tremendous amount of open source projects spanning a wide range of areas ready for your participation! In this blog post, we\u2019re going to explore some of these projects and highlight ways you can get involved this Hacktoberfest season.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to start? Let\u2019s go!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couchbase Starter Kits<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our first stop on our tour is a brand new project, <\/span>Couchbase Starter Kits<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Couchbase starter kit? Well, it\u2019s a streamlined way to start building a new project in your favorite language and framework with everything you need to use Couchbase built in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, maybe you are creating a new GenAI side project<\/a> (<\/span>that does seem to be the trendy thing to do nowadays<\/span><\/i>) and you want to use Ruby on Rails, because Rails is still one of the fastest ways to launch a new project. You also know that Couchbase is excellent for storing and searching through your vector embeddings. Do you need to scaffold a Rails app with Couchbase from scratch? No, not at all! Simply use the Rails Couchbase starter kit and get going.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same is true if you are building with Java or Python right now. We want this to be true for even more languages and frameworks, and that\u2019s where you can make a big impact.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go explore the <\/span>Contributing Guide<\/span><\/a>, specifically the open <\/span>Issues<\/span><\/a> to discover high demand languages and frameworks to build new starter kits with. The Contributing Guide has everything you need to start building, including sample configuration files that are ready for you to modify for your language or framework\u2019s needs and add them to your starter kit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couchbase Shell<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next up on our journey is an incredibly powerful tool for developers: <\/span>Couchbase Shell<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is Couchbase Shell? Think of it as your command-line companion for interacting with Couchbase data in a fast, efficient, and flexible way. Whether you\u2019re querying data, managing your cluster, or even running complex scripts, Couchbase Shell provides a streamlined interface that gets you up and running in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can read, mutate and remove documents in your Couchbase bucket right from the shell, like in this example:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

[crayon line-height=”12″ nums=”false” lang=”default” decode=”true”]> doc upsert my-doc {“hello”: “world”}<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you\u2019re developing a new microservices-based application, and you need to query your Couchbase bucket frequently to ensure everything is working as expected. Instead of diving into a UI, you can rely on Couchbase Shell for quick, real-time interactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re working with Couchbase in a Docker, Kubernetes, or CI\/CD environment, Couchbase Shell can simplify and supercharge your operations. For example, when you’re deploying new changes or running automated tests, you can easily <\/span>integrate Couchbase Shell into your pipelines<\/span><\/a> to streamline cluster management and data interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part? You can make it even better. The project is open source, which means you can contribute features, fix bugs, or suggest improvements to further enhance this command-line tool. Check out the <\/span>Couchbase Shell repository<\/span><\/a>, browse the <\/span>Issues<\/span><\/a> tab, and see where you can make an impact. Whether it’s improving existing functionality or adding support for new operations, your contributions are what will keep this tool evolving.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is also our special shout out to all the <\/span>Rustaceans<\/span><\/a> \ud83e\udd80 out there! If you are interested in contributing to a fully open source project entirely written in Rust, then come and dive into Couchbase Shell.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VSCode and JetBrains extensions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, let\u2019s explore two powerful IDE integrations: the <\/span>Couchbase VSCode<\/b> and <\/span>JetBrains<\/b> extensions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These plugins provide a seamless way to interact with Couchbase right within your favorite development environments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couchbase VSCode extension<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The <\/span>Couchbase VSCode extension<\/span><\/a> brings Couchbase right into your editor. This tool allows you to manage clusters, query databases, and handle documents without ever leaving your IDE. Whether you’re working with Couchbase Server or Capella, you can easily connect, manage, and query your clusters through the extension’s interface.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
