CouchDB is awesome and feels way ahead of its time. Its design docs are extremely powerful, to the point that you can build entire web apps with CouchDB alone (not that that's recommended anymore). Plus with PouchDB you can create offline-first apps that sync with a remote CouchDB instance.

If you like PouchDB, you should also check out RxDB. It is build on top of PouchDB and is optimised for realtime-applications where you can subscribe to queries and stuff.

Ahead of its time?

PL/SQL also allowed (and allows) you to create entire apps within a database.
