Can you explain how the communication between local applications and he local couchdb works?

Is there a daemon running by default that brokers communication between the local applications like evolution and the local couch? Is this communication driven through D-BUS.. or is there a local unix socket or tcp port opened as part of the desktop session?

https://launchpad.net/desktopcouch

desktopcouch runs a couchdb for each user session. It's started by D-Bus
activation, so only running if something uses it.

couchdb is a webservice, so communication is then using HTTP.

Thanks,
