Cloudant is a distributed database that is optimized for handling heavy
workloads that are typical of large, fast-growing web and mobile apps.
Available as an SLA-backed, fully managed IBM Cloud service, Cloudant
elastically scales throughput and storage independently. Cloudant is also
available as a downloadable, on-premises installation, and its API and powerful
replication protocol are compatible with an open source ecosystem that includes
CouchDB, PouchDB, and libraries for the most popular web and mobile development
stacks.
