Databucket
What it is
Databucket is an open-source tool for managing test data and metadata across projects, environments, and integrated tools. It stores test data in elastic structures suited to information that changes during software development, and can also hold configuration parameters separately from code. Its multi-tenant client-server architecture connects through a RESTful API and is deployed self-hosted. Projects can keep data and user access isolated. Permissions cover user rules and access to artifacts such as groups, buckets, and views. Search includes property queries, standard filters, and extensive filtering. History tracks data creation and modification, while reservations manage access and can hide orphaned data. Bulk tasks can modify or delete multiple datasets. Databucket is free under an MIT license, with a listed plan price of free. The repository lists Java 17 and NodeJS 18 as setup prerequisites. For support, users can create a GitHub task or ask questions in the Databucket Slack channel.
