Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Databases
We use IBM Cloud Databases as the core for transactions for our applications, which, in turn, are sold as SaaS. Postgres as a service helps us to focus on our product, reducing maintenance and administration costs and availability.
- Backups
- Availability
- Simplicity
- Interface
- Configuration
- Intermediate offerings
- Reduced costs
- Management simplification
- Elasticity
The kubernete service is the front end for the transactions of our core systems and our cloud databases (Postgres and DB2) are the persistence storage.
It is very similar to the way on which we operated before except that we don't have to worry about high availability, backups and essentially most of the tuning required by the database.
