Case Study: AppAdvice scales its app catalog and supports 400,000 daily users with IBM Cloudant
A IBM Case Study
Personalized iOS app news and reviews powered by IBM Cloudant DBaaS
AppAdvice.com needed to store variably structured data for its application catalog and required a solution that was inexpensive to start with but could scale for massive future growth. Their challenge was that a traditional relational SQL database was not a viable option. They turned to IBM for a solution using its Cloudant database-as-a-service.
IBM implemented its Cloudant DBaaS, a NoSQL solution based on Apache CouchDB. The schemaless JSON data storage was a natural fit for AppAdvice.com's multi-structured data. The results were significant, as the platform now supports over 400,000 visitors a day. IBM's solution eliminated database maintenance tasks, optimized performance, and allowed developers to focus on improving the customer experience, which was a key factor in the company's success.
