Cloudant 做什么

Cloudant's distributed database-as-a-service (DBaaS) allows developers of fast-growing web and mobile apps to focus on building and improving their products, instead of worrying about scaling and managing their databases on their own. We manage and distribute your data globally so you can grow more users, build more app features, and sleep more knowing we're keeping the servers up and humming. Cloudant was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2008 by three MIT physicists who at the time were moving multi-petabyte data sets around from the Large Hadron Collider. Frustrated by the available tools for managing and analyzing Big Data in their research, the founders built a distributed, fault-tolerant, globally scalable data layer on top of Apache CouchDB. The service has grown since then. The team now manages and serves mobile and web app data on behalf of thousands of developers and hundreds of customers to their users around the world. In 2014, the company was acquired by a global enterprise software & hardware vendor.

Cloudant

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

NoSQL Database-as-a-Service

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a distributed, fault-tolerant, globally scalable NoSQL database service based on Apache CouchDB. Our product manages data for fast-growing web and mobile apps, handling scaling and server operations so developers can focus on their apps, not database infrastructure.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Boston, MA, and the company is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based here because the founders all started in Cambridge, MA working on large scientific data problems, and the local tech community supports our work. It's where we built the first versions of the product and found early users.
