IBM Cloudant Overview

Cloudant NoSQL Cloud DB – Grow into Your Data Layer, Not Out of It

Cloudant puts the ‘service’ in NoSQL database as a service. Unlike scale-it-yourself NoSQL databases, Cloudant is scaled and operated for you. You focus on code, we’ve got your back-end covered. Plus, it enables replication & sync, full-text search, advanced analytics via MapReduce, etc.

  • Develop Fast – GET, PUT, Index, and Query JSON objects via aCouchDB-compatible, RESTful API. Cloudant is schema-less, so you can develop new features without having to redesign your database or migrate data
  • Grow your database without worry – experts at Cloudant operate and scale it for you
  • Push your data to the edge – Cloudant distributes data across a global network of data centers, or to your data center or individual mobile devices, for fast, non-stop access to data from anywhere
  • Build epic features – Built-in text search, data replication & synch, and MapReduce for advanced analytics, enable you to easily create an exceptional user experience for your customers

 

Some of the top web & mobile app developers use Cloudant to scale their data

Cloudant is the winner when huge scalability matters. It’s a great relief to offload datastore operations onto Cloudant so you are free to focus on new development. – Jason Pearlman, OMGPOP
