  • Fully scalable, so that you can add power as needed.
  • They can improve on their documentation.

  • It helped us in creating scalable application.
  • Reduced / Saved the cost of hardware.
  • Warning for crashes works amazing.
If you have a small team which is also responsible for development of the product then surely go for it. And if you have a larger team with dedicated person to take care of deployments. Go for cheaper options such as compute engine or AWS (be sure to do your research on pricing and features comparison).
