If you are talking about a Node-RED Dashboard, then you need something that can host Node-RED. IBM's Cloudant has this available or you can run Node-RED on any cloud platform that supports running Node.JS apps.

Just to clarify, IBM Cloudant is a hosted database service. You can deploy Node-RED to IBM Cloud and it will use cloudant under the covers to store flow config.

There are docs for this and other cloud providers on [nodered.org](http://nodered.org).
