Scalability when you need it, very easy to increase service limit/size/etc.
Easy out of the box backups,Cost for smaller deployments. Running minimal instances of redis, mongo, postgresql costs more than ordering a simple VM and installing youself.
Managed services sometimes lack plugins (eg custom postgresql, rabbitmq extensions for specialized tasks).,9,Allowed us to quickly setup PoC demo environment of a platform of ours,Apache SolrVerified UserThe best option if you want to move to production fast, while keeping your data safe and always available2018-03-09T22:58:24.787ZWe were using Compose PostgreSQL and Compose Redis as the data source for all of our stack. We have a messaging sequencer platform, a bot engine platform and Compose Redis was used as a session store and message sequencer and PostgreSQL as the transactional and permanent store.,Instant setup: configuring and setting up a production environment for PostgreSQL can be an expensive and time consuming task, with Compose we just clicked "new instance".
Backups: same as instant setup - no need to worry about creating a backup flow. Backups are always available in the Compose dashboard and also accessible via an API for additional storage (i.e. move to S3)
High Availability: harder than setting up backup and monitoring, is setting up HA for PostgreSQL, since it doesn't have it out of the box, and there aren't official tools. Compose abstracts the setup putting multiple instances behind HAProxy, and your application doesn't even have to worry about changing instances.
Scaling,Better cost reports, before just increasing to another tier, thus increasing the price. This is critical for early stage startups, where budget is tight.
Add more data center options. As a comparison, a similar service, Aiven.io has dozen more options than Compose (basically all big cloud providers). We moved from AWS to Digital Ocean, which made us stop using Compose, since Compose forces us to be either on IBM or AWS.,10,Instant production environment data setup, without the need to invest days preparing the setup. Immediate positive ROI on this.
Negative impact: we had to use a more expensive cloud provider (AWS), because Compose wasn't present in Digital Ocean (cheaper and transparent). After some time, we stopped using Compose because we moved back to Digital Ocean.,Aiven,PostgreSQL, RedisAlfred Reinold BaudischSmall dev teams will LOVE Compose!2018-02-22T17:58:40.872ZWe started using Compose because we were looking for a RethinkDB provider. Although we eventually stopped using RethinkDB and migrated the app to MongoDB, our experience with Compose was great and we stuck with Compose. The databases power internal back-office apps that are used by the whole company. We have a small development team and using Compose let us quickly and easily setup new deployments and access/manage existing deployments using their GUI, saving us time and letting the engineering focus on writing code - not managing servers.,Creating production-ready deployments is easy
The database consoles are intuitive and easy to use for new users
Creating and restoring backups is easy
Migrating data between deployments is done through the GUI,Hosted version lacks integration with corporate Single Sign On (SSO)
Doesn't offer Kafka deployments,10,Being able to use Compose has saved us about 0.2 FTE of developer time managing db deployments manually.
Support for SSL and encryption made our NIST / ISO infosec compliance a lot easier.,Apache Kafka, Amazon Relational Database Service, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL,Apache Kafka, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google Cloud Storage, Jitterbit, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Infor CloudSuite Business, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Microsoft Azure, LogglyCarlo QuiñonezCompose.io is pretty good!2018-02-05T19:54:44.250ZMy client uses IBM Compose to power their startup presentation software. Their application is built on meteor.js which uses Mongo DB as it's primary data store. They needed something reliable, fast and scalable, so we went with IBM Compose. Compose was incredibly easy to set up, and billing is straightforward, easy to understand.,Easy to set up.
Scaling is easy to configure.
Solid reliability.,It'd be nice if there was an easier way to set up a low cost or free testing or staging environment to match with the production environment. A "clone to staging" feature would be amazing.,10,We're still working on that. ;-),mlab,Google Analytics, Google Drive, Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), MongoDBKevin NewmanDoing MongoDB the easy way with Compose2018-03-13T19:10:56.511ZWe use Compose for both Mongo databases and Redis databases. For each type of database, we run development, test, and production instances. Basically, it lets me have a very robust database without having a DBA or Dev Ops team.,Easy to create a database within a few minutes. Particularly nice if you just need one for a few hours.
Very easy to copy data from one instance to another.
Backups are automatic; do not impact system performance when they happen and are very quick and easy to restore.,I find some of the documentation to be a little vague and not clearly versioned or time-stamped. As an example, you needed a particular version of the Node Mongo driver to use the connection string with multiple load balancer addresses. The documentation said that "older versions may not work" or words to that effect but was not specific about which one did work.,9,The cost for a service with this level of reliability has been outstanding.
The one time that we had an issue, which was back when the product was still MongoHQ, they credited us with a month of service to make things right even though the problem really had minimal impact on our business.David Hart
