About ButfitSeoul

ButfitSeoul is a fast-growing fitness technology startup that operates an integrated online and offline fitness platform. Founded in 2018, the company offers services like TEAMBUTFIT (group exercise programs) and BUTFITGROUND (a premium gym facility). Following the COVID-19 pandemic, ButfitSeoul pivoted and scaled rapidly. To support this growth, they chose Couchbase for its performance, offline sync capabilities, and scalability – enabling a more seamless and resilient user experience across their platform.
