Custom implementations can be written for any given backend database or object store, enabling the specification of a `CardStore` that is in a non-default file location, a separate docker container, or hosted in a cloud based data store. The store configuration can be completed using either a configuration file, or by using environment variables.

- [@ampretia/composer-wallet-ibmcos](https://github.com/ampretia/composer-wallet-ibmcos) - provides a backing store using the IBM Cloud Object Store. This has an S3 compatible API

Multiple cloud wallet implementations can be installed using global npm installs.
