Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Databases (formerly Compose)
We primarily use PostgreSQL, Elastic, Redis, and Mongodb for our applications.
- Easy to provision
- Auth with certs
- Replication
- More features than just the open source versions
- HIPAA compliance
- No replication, so we needed to develop our own DR strategy which isn't foolproof.
- On a positive note, they are easier to provision and use in our applications.
Cloudant is HIPAA compliant and replicated out of the box. We recommend use of Cloudant vs Mongodb for that purpose. We use Redis only as a session cache.
