Operational Impact
The migration to IBM Cloudant has enabled Cabify to focus more on enhancing its core business and less on managing databases. The company now has a robust, flexible, high-performance data layer in the cloud, which allows it to focus on innovation and product development. The Cloudant service has also eliminated the management and maintenance workload of in-house databases, freeing up significant time for more proactive, customer-facing work. Data security, a key imperative for Cabify, is ensured with the IBM Cloudant solution, which provides access control, backups, and data redundancy. Additionally, the 24/7 external support provided by the Cloudant team has been particularly useful as Cabify's business spans multiple time zones. | |
