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.

- There is easy maintenance of databases
- Compose pricing is favorable

RethinkDB Compose
- Good responsiveness from support.
- Up to date on best practices (an extra proxy server in my case, default user restrictions). The DB's web UI is easily launchable.
- Backups.
- A pricing plan for a simple single instance you can use for testing and QA.

How IBM lifted an idea into reality
- Very easy to set up
- Good monitoring
- Easy to scale
- Monitoring was difficult to initially locate.
- Understanding the choices between different database packages
- Setting up a cloud foundry connection - restored to SSL certification connection

Database as a service done right
- Cost effective
- Everything under one roof, having all our data needs taken care of from a single vendor makes management much easier
- Integrates with IBM Cloud platform natively
- Does not support Let's Encrypt for secured connection. Currently IBM Cloud Databases only support self-signed certificate, which is more troublesome to configure.
- Due to compliance requirements, IBM Cloud Databases have a tendency to deprecate and EOL various older versions of the databases offered, sometimes you have very short window to upgrade.

Solid choice for AaaS NoSQL hosting
- Persistent data storage for microservices
- Fast and easy, but secure, NoSQL storage for integrations and bots
- Quick setup time, great for rapid prototypes which may graduate to real products and should thus start on a firm foundation.
- Robust Redis and RabbitMQ clusters with no downtime within the last 18 months.
- With RabbitMQ, putting special policies on specific queues was not possible via the admin interface and required contacting their support (The support guys promptly configured those policies, though).
- IBM Watson
- App ID
- PostgreSQL as a service, especially with the IBM cloud user documentation
- Cloud foundry and react starters
