Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudant

We use Cloudant as an IBM proposed DB solution for dedicated cloud foundry IBM cloud environments. The initial structure is for a weird implementation to use Cloudant, as we are using it as a cache for some middle life data. I know cache is not a right implementation for Cloudant, but it offered a database sync between datacenters.
  • Cross datacenters sync
  • Quick sync performance and data transfer
  • Some pretty high add/update response time
  • We had some issues with concurrent data saving/reading
  • Due to CouchDB implementation the purge of some database field requires a copy of the desired fields to a new database
  • Could find an easier way to assign access permission
  • This implementation reduces the retry on the cached data so it's a [decrease] in traffic and CPU
  • The Cloudant api is very flexible so we could automate all maintenance
  • Not expensive for small usage
As I mentioned Redis was the first option for this implementation, IBM Cloudant excels the data center sync.
As a incremental database I think the best use case is to store a sequential path of data events - like transactions storage.
