Civic InnovationsRevisiting an Old Idea: Building a Rules Engine with CouchDBA few years back, while working at 18F, I created <a href="https://github.com/mheadd/couch-rules-engine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a prototype</a> that explored something a bit unconventional: using CouchDB’s document validation functions as the foundation for a rules engine. The idea was to leverage CouchDB’s built-in validation capabilities to create business rules that could be applied to documents as they’re inserted or updated.I’ve always been somewhat obsessed with <a href="https://couchdb.apache.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CouchDB</a>—there’s something elegant about its document-oriented approach and the way it handles replication, versioning, and distributed architectures. (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sE7bY76kag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Here’s a video I made over 10 years ago</a> showing how to load polling location data into a CouchDB instance.) So even though my prototype remained just that, the concept has continued to bubble in the back of my brain.Recently, I decided to dust off this old project and give it the attention it deserves. I’ve worked to develop <a href="https://github.com/mheadd/couch-rules-engine/blob/main/ROADMAP.md" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a comprehensive roadmap</a> to transform the basic prototype into a more functional and usable product that truly leverages CouchDB’s unique strengths.What Makes This InterestingInstead of building yet another traditional rules engine, this approach uses CouchDB’s native validation functions as the rule execution environment. This means:<ul><li>Native versioning through <a href="https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/document/common.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CouchDB’s document revision system</a></li><li>Built-in replication for <a href="https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/replication/intro.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">distributing rules across environments</a></li><li>RESTful rule management using <a href="https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CouchDB’s HTTP API</a></li><li>Distributed validation that scales with <a href="https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/cluster/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CouchDB clusters</a></li></ul>The roadmap I’ve created takes my earlier work from a proof-of-concept to a (hopefully) production-ready system with a web-based rule management interface, comprehensive testing infrastructure, and advanced rule capabilities—all while maintaining the elegance of the core CouchDB foundation.Looking AheadOver the next few weeks (again, hopefully), I’ll be working through the development phases, starting with a modern testing framework and a clean web interface for rule management. The goal is to create something that demonstrates how CouchDB’s unique features can be leveraged in ways that traditional databases simply can’t match.If you’re interested in following along or have thoughts about creative uses for CouchDB, <a href="https://github.com/mheadd/couch-rules-engine/issues" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">I’d love to hear from you</a>.

Cynni's BlogDriving… 🏎️ Due to several reasons, I was "late" getting my license at 20. But I passed both exams (the theory questions and the actual driving) in one try. Didn't have any theory questions wrong... So I thought I didn't do too badly. I've been driving ever since. I've been in one accident so far (and that was enough), which was my fault, according to the laws. But, the other driver needed to follow a course after it, as it seems he kept causing these kinds of accidents, so the insurance felt like he was doing it on purpose... But yeah, I've been doing OK so far.
