Overall Satisfaction with IBM Compose
We use MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ with Compose and that allows us to focus on what we do best—building great apps. It provides us developer agility, DBA productivity, application reliability, performance, and security.
Pros
- When a developer wishes to provision a database, the steps involved include provisioning compute, storage and networking components, configuring them properly and then installing database software...with Compose you can provision while in a DB environment in 3 steps.
- Compose ensures that all databases are operated in the same way, and in keeping with the best practices established by the IT organization. This, frees up the developer and DBA to work on more important things like the application and innovation rather than the boring minutiae of running a database.
- Once in operation, complex database operations like resizing a cluster are now a simple API call to Compose and the developer need not concern themselves with the minutiae of how this operation should be performed for the specific database and version.
Cons
- Support more databases
- Support DRP plans
- Support Geo replication between datacenters
- Increase security and performance by 30%
- Accelerate the provisioning of a new database by 70%
- Reduce operation overhead by 50%
- Supported by IBM
- Clean and better UI experience
- Supports Digital Ocean
