Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudant
I recommend everyone who evaluated ibm cloudant in the past years since the cloudant aquisition and decided against it due to reliability and maturity of ibm cloud to revisit cloudant. For the last 2 years I can say nothing but positives about the experience and i moved all in-house couchDB and document database hosting to ibm without any issues at all. As a sidenote i was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fulltext and faceting features of cloudant and even have some workloads handled by cloudant that i previously fullfilled with a separate elastic search installation. This was planned as an intermediate solution but cloudant search worked so well, that it is now a standard part of our solution stack.
- sync data with multi master setups and offline capable clients
- schema-less document storage
- subscription and reactivity to changing data
- ibm cloud billing is still a bit strict and inflexible for some markets and credit card providers, i needed to verify my company and the process could have been nicer.
- allowed us to eliminate all internal hosting and move to an edge only architecture
