    I feel like Google Cloud Datastore is well suited when the data models are simple and the possible filtering and sorting operation are not complex. With more complex filtering, the amount of required indexes increase, and so does the costs.

    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.

    Cons

    • Part of the Google Cloud Platform walled garden.
    • Pay for read/writes to the datastore, in addition to storage.
    • Not many libraries exist.

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

    I give Google Cloud a full score because it satisfies our needs so well. We host most of our infrastructure on Google Cloud and using Google Cloud Datastore helps us to solve our NoSQL storage problem. and Google Cloud Datastore is so scalable and elastic. It saves us lots of time to maintain and saves us money.

    The simple implementation, together with the Google Cloud dashboard that allows data inspection, editing and querying, makes Google Cloud Datastore a comprehensive choice when it comes to NoSQL databases.

    If deploying an application in Google Cloud Platform, using Google Cloud Datastore is a no brainer because of the simplicity of setup. Other options would require more setup and configuration, and do not come with the same level of guaranteed uptime as Google Cloud Datastore. In our case, we've been using Google Cloud Datastore for 4 years without any issues and have never had to think about it.

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