What is IBM Cloud Databases?
IBM Cloud Databases are open source data stores for enterprise application development. Built on a Kubernetes foundation, they offer a database platform for serverless applications. They are designed to scale storage and compute resources seamlessly without being constrained by the limits of a single server. Natively integrated and available in the IBM Cloud console, these databases are now available through a consistent consumption, pricing, and interaction model. They aim to provide a cohesive experience for developers that include access control, backup orchestration, encryption key management, auditing, monitoring, and logging.

Compose Saves You A Lot Of Time With Your Databases
We use Compose as our database layer for PostgreSQL. It relieves us of the need to maintain our own database servers and personnel.
March 09, 2018
Compose is good but Amazon is better
Currently, we are using Compose to host our data which allows us to scale our sports data up pretty fast. We use MySQL and Mongo for real-time updates which users can see immediately on the front end. The data feed we get is the core of our business so it is very important.

Quick Database to go with Your App on Heroku

Very good database service for small project
Compose is used as our main database for our product Collect. All services are dependent on this database.
March 05, 2018
Pretty solid MongoDB hosting
It is used primarily to store/retrieve sports feed data by our APIs so that we can make the data available to our users via the mobile apps. It allows us to query data in a way we cannot within MySQL (our primary data store) as we can store documents rather than having to normalise it.

Decent DBaas Platform
We are using the Mongo DB cloud deployments and Redis for all our application development architecture. We started using Compose well before it was acquired by IBM. Applications developed include anything we do to support the business and customers.

IBM Compose is great!
We use the product to time code the transcripts for our videos. This is extremely helpful since it is an automatic system now. It's decreased the manual effort we've had to put in, as well as decreased the wait time for video and transcript analysis. Our clients love how quick the process is!
We are using IBM Compose to host several of our databases that are an integral part of our service. We are using both different databases and messaging services that Compose has to offer. By using IBM Compose, we're able to concentrate more on solving the business problems for our customers and leaving most of the database maintenance and hosting work to a company that has totally dedicated to just those things and doing them awesomely.
Compose is our database vendor for all our backend systems. Their hosted Mongo solution has powered our products from the early days as a 3 person startup to now being acquired twice and part of an 800+ person organization. Through this scaling we have not had any fulltime DBAs, so we relied on the managed offering to have high uptime and provide consistent service with minimal tinkering.

Compose- Highly Recommended
We rely on elastic search for licensed technology we host for clients. It's the one piece of the infrastructure our internal team doesn't have extensive experience with.
Even though it's the place where we have the least experience, it's also the place where we run into the least challenges. I can count on one hand how often it has had an outage, and we've literally never had server / configuration issues.

Compose just works and has an easy UI
We build a social media app and we have our main and develop MongoDB databases in Compose.
IBM Compose hosts our production database and provides an interface for our IT team to implement new features to our product.

Helpful tool for flexible management of cloud-based apps
We utilize IBM Compose as a component for running our Watson-based service chatbot in the IBM Cloud.

Stable, fast and has a good price.
IBM Compose manages our MongoDB database, which is the main database technology we use. I've looked for a company to take care of the database part of the application, and IBM Compose seemed to fit.

IBM Compose, easy and fast.
We are using MongoDB Compose for our Home Care patient management application. For remote monitoring and electronic medical records.

You Can Trust Compose to Handle your Data!
We use IBM Compose MongoDB servers for one of our web-based software products. It allows us to focus on improving the product and not worry about whether our data is secure and accessible by our clients. This software is used in an on-premise/dedicated instance fashion, so the MongoDB servers are used by multiple instances of the software. We can continue to expand while using IBM Compose to host our data.

No Worries with Compose
We are using IBM Compose for :
- PostGres: We retain and compute Location Data and queries.
Scaling, backups clustering, and pricing were a problem from other competitors; this is where IBM killed the competition and helped us secure our data
- MongoDB: We retain system logs.
- MySQL: We retain user Data.
- MySQL: We retain user Data.

It is being used across the whole technical solution and as a web service.

IBM Compose is great for database deployment
We use IBM Compose for a MongoDB deployment with a Meteor JS Application (usilio.com)

Compose Review
We originally used Compose to manage our MongoDB deployment. We are a small organization and needed a cost-effective Mongo cluster. When we first started with Compose, we didn't have the engineering bandwidth to manage high availability, backups, etc. ourselves. Using Compose was a good way to get started. Setup was easy and things like versioning and backups were taken care of so we could focus on our application layer - our core competency.
February 23, 2018
Very easy to get started
We provide Software as a Service (http://innovationwall.io) and need to store information in a database. We also decided (for reasons other than) Compose to host our service on IBM Bluemix. Thanks to Bluemix we got introduced to Compose and decided to use their Redis-solution for storing sessions of our users

IBM Compose
We use IBM compose to host RabbitMQ, Redis and MongoDB databases inside our engineering department to support Node.JS web services that provide data to our Mobile product, Albert.
The Redis Database is used for distributed session management, MongoDB stores all of our persistent data and RabbitMQ is used as a queue to provide data storage stability to operations that may fail and need retrying.

This remains my preferred database-as-a-service
We use IBM Compose as a critical component of our IT infrastructure for hosting a cluster of MongoDB instances. This enables us to store off-site user and application data with excellent performance and high availability. The range of options provided by IBM Compose allow us greater choice of technology versus competitors and the ability to instantly scale our offerings.

Small dev teams will LOVE Compose!
We 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.

IBM Compose Review
We use IBM compose for development and a production server. The main reason is it is easy to scale. But we also have a problem from time to time which is related to the database network latency issue in some of the regions.
February 22, 2018
Great service, certainly when you lack db operational expertise.
We use IBM Compose for the production environment of our Saas solution. We use MongoDB for our back-end infrastructure. So basically this is a key part of our entire organization since we have one product that relies heavily on a database that is hosted by IBM compose. The business problem that is being solved is just basically that we can offer a persistent state of our service.
