Send me an email (in profile.) Would love to chat and see what we can do for you.

If you indeed work for Cloudant, please consider trying to convince someone to invest in PouchDB. It looks mostly unmaintained and it would be in IBM's and the community's interest to keep it running!

Partitioned dbs are supposed to allow you to query more cheaply, haven't implemented those yet.

They’ve recently shifted their pricing scheme to be more on-demand; before that, you needed to do multi-tenant at very small scale, or buy dedicated clusters.

We have dedicated clusters on Cloudant and they’ve run quite smoothly for many years. Someday we might switch to the on-demand IBM Cloud pricing, but haven’t done it yet.
