Great advantages and simplicity of deployment. It is as I would summarize the Cloudant service from IBM.
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudant
IBM Cloudant is used to have a central repository of clients' databases to which information generated in different branches that have local Couchdb deployments arrivals. In this way, we manage to have the data synchronized in all of them through continuous replication.
Pros
- The response time for bi-directional syncs with the Couchdb engine is excellent.
- The statistics provided by Cloudant allow us to make decisions about the implementation of new features or improvements over existing ones in future versions of our software, allowing us to continuously optimize processes.
Cons
- Improvement in the documentation of some client libraries, such as the Cloudant library for Java.
- Since we have used Cloudant, we have increased our profit by 30% in this line of business, since the time and resources we invested in maintaining our own database implementation as a central repository has been used to serve a greater number of clients. Our projection is a growth of 35% thanks to the fact that we have Cloudant as the strategic platform for this growth.
The gap that we wanted to cover was to deploy a self-managed CouchDB environment, which would allow us the bidirectional replication of Databases through several physical locations of the same client. IBM Cloudant was the best choice after evaluating some other platforms with similar solutions.
