Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used to host the database of a web application to find lost dogs in Argentina. It's the main database of the company.

Pros and Cons

It's easy to set up and administrate
Automatic backups
Fast and secure without hassle

I'm really happy with the actual product and nothing comes to my mind that could improve it.
The best feature is... I set it up the first time and voila not used it much after that... which is good. It means it's easy and works well.

Return on Investment

We didn't waste any time setting up, securing, updating and backing up databases, which is really good if your team is small and time is important.

Alternatives Considered

Amazon DynamoDB and Heroku

I've tried Amazon DynamoDB and Heroku Postgres, but Compose was much much easier and faster to set up, and also has more DB alternatives.

Other Software Used

DigitalOcean, Uploadcare

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it's really good if you have a small team and don't want to waste time configuring, securing and backing up databases. The scenario where it is less appropriate is if you are on a budget.
