We use Compose because we don't have a dedicated DBA. It's great to be able to let Compose take that stress off our shoulders!
- Automated Backups
- MongoDB Sharding
- Great web interface for browsing/editing records in a pinch
- The site has seemed to load slower over the past year or two, but still works great!
- Occasionally you'll want to launch a DB in an AWS region that isn't available, bummer if you're trying to keep lag to an absolute minimum
- My Compose bill starts at < $50 and I'm up and running in minutes. This saves SO MUCH TIME.
- MongoLab and MongoHQ
Compose has a better web interface which is why I originally chose them. But now, I'm glad they also offer Redis and other DB's I need for my stack.
