GoDaddy Container-as-a-Service (ElasticHosts, Springs.io), discontinued vs. Redis Enterprise Cloud™*

Unlike other providers, Springs doesn’t use a pre-built container solution, instead opting for their own software built from the ground up.

Redis Cloud is very well suited for scenarios where fast data access is required or somewhat unstructured data needs to be stored. For us, it has worked very well for user session storage. However, if you have large amounts of structured data that is not frequently accessed, Redis is not the solution and a traditional relational database is likely more appropriate.

• Container hosting, cloud virtualization
• Elastic capacity scaling and pay-per-use billing
• Linux kernel containerization technologies for container isolation and control

• Ease of setup and deployment via Heroku
• Reliability and splicity
• Fair pricing

• Provide more options at lower costs
• It would be nice to see that expanded out to more distributions. What would be potentially even better though is templates. Some hosts can deploy ready-to-run WordPress/Drupal sites, LAMP instances, ownCloud instances, etc. at the drop of a hat. If Springs could replicate this with their container hosting they’d immediately appeal to a much, much wider audience;

• The only area of improvement I have found is the documentation is sometimes lacking and could be a little more comprehensive.

Springs is drastically cheaper than running 4 OVH servers, and a little cheaper than running nano instances on AWS.

I've used Heroku Redis and RedisToGo. Redis Cloud has the best free/developer plan, and we have never had an issue.

• In the beginning I wasn’t sure what I should set it to for my web server, so I left it. After a while the Average usage area begins showing how much resource the container is demanding and from that more adequate limits can be set.

• Redis Cloud is very affordable and therefore the cost is negligible when compared to the benefits— immediate ROI with very little startup costs.
