Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use IBM compose for development and a production server. The main reason is it is easy to scale. But we also have a problem from time to time which is related to the database network latency issue in some of the regions.

Pros and Cons

Scaling
Easy to manage
Security is easy

Network latency

Return on Investment

Positive impact on database management

Alternatives Considered

Amazon RDS, but this product is way too expensive for most of startup.

Other Software Used

Amazon Relational Database Service, Azure SQL Database

Likelihood to Recommend

For a startup, it is very good. But when we want more of a performance database, we will need to think twice. It would be great if IBM Compose could give us both value and performance.
