    I would only get into it if I where willing to pay for the support plan and getting some assurances from the team as to where they are headed. The platform itself is great and can save you a ton of hard work and money. but it's hard to be confidant in it's sustainability.

    Oracle Big Data SQL Cloud Service is useful for large organizations with more than 5,000 employees where it will help manage the company's human resources information, and also useful for companies who have a big number of items and so one, it's perfect for large organizations. Unfortunately, this makes it an expensive solution for small to medium organizations.

    Cons
    DigitalOcean
    • The company has not been very communicative as of lately. Not much news, no apparent work on missing features.
    • Some components are incomplete as far as some critical features. For example, I use RethinkDB as my database and it's missing critical features like backup and clustering, so It is unusable and they should have made that clear from the get go.
    • The pricing on the support plan is vague. I do have the feeling it is actually well worth the money, but it's hard to form a decisions based without more predictable specific.
    • Seems to me like the platform's future is unclear.

    It can help you to host your virtual appliance or serverless application at very low cost. DigitalOcean marketplace also helps you to deploy the serverless app or virtual appliance effortlessly. It is suitable for small scale deployment and the process to setup an account and roll out your app via marketplace is easy and cheap.

    Return on Investment
    DigitalOcean
    • The platform is saving me a lot of time I would have been wasting on operations instead of development.
    • The platform is saving me a lot of money as I can easily switch between cloud providers to find the best price.
    • I am worried though for the price I might have to pay in case of an unexpected system issue.
    • Hopefully I will be able to pay the support plan before that.
