+Cloudant, an IBM-managed NoSQL database built on top of Apache CouchDB, provides a powerful solution for document-oriented storage with high availability and scalability. Cloudant provides a robust, flexible, and highly scalable NoSQL database solution that is tailor-made for cloud-native applications. Its ability to scale flawless, offer high availability, and support real-time data access makes it a perfect fit for dynamic, modern applications running in the cloud. Cloudant with Open Liberty offers a seamless way to build, deploy, and scale your Java applications with efficient, scalable data storage.

 Using Cloudant with Open Liberty previously meant enabling the `cloudant-1.0` feature and configuring several elements in ``server.xml``. With CDI and MicroProfile Config,  you can easily configure access to Cloudant with a CDI producer (for an introduction to using CDI producers, see the https://openliberty.io/guides/cdi-intro.html[Injecting Dependencies into Microservices guide]). The cloudant-1.0 feature was implemented using Java Cloudant Client library which is no longer supported, so in this demonstration we are using the new Cloudant SDK for Java.
