I found a better solution that integrates nicely with gulp, in case someone
else needs it:

Use gulp-shell (https://www.npmjs.org/package/gulp-shell) to run the
couchapp build command from gulp, like this:

gulp.task('build_couchapp', shell.task(['couchapp push
http://user:[email protected]:5984/mydb']));
