The document discusses Cloudant, a database as a service that allows developers to build high-velocity web and mobile apps without dealing with SQL or managing their own NoSQL databases. It was founded by big data scientists and is venture funded. Cloudant provides JSON documents, indexing, search, and geospatial capabilities. Developers can sign up for an account, write data locally on devices like embedded systems or satellites, and sync it later to the Cloudant cloud.
