Right now we (team of 12, 1 devops engineer) use mongodb atlas. While mongodb/nosql itself really is not giving us any value and that I really wished that postgresql was picked for our relational data, I must admit that atlas really is a nice product.
Hosting is not only about speed and price. We use atlas (=hosted mongodb), because we get that nice dashboard with all those statistics and performance tuning hints. Also, if we screw something up, mongo engineers are available immediately to help us. That was nice when we broke production because of index creation on the foreground. (Which pymongo defaults to, even though mongodb itself defaultst to backgound creation). We consulted them for tuning a frequently running “slow” query and that helped.
In short: hosted solution for support and less maintenance. Backups are arranged. We can choose which version to run on and upgrades are also arranged.
Question: is there a comparable service for postgresql like mongodb atlas?
- vira28 5y agoMakes sense. > Question: is there a comparable service for postgresql like mongodb atlas? There is no company behind Postgres. So, the big public cloud providers are providing their hosted solution.
- simonw 5y ago"Question: is there a comparable service for postgresql like mongodb atlas?" So many options. Amazon RDS and Google Cloud SQL both offer PostgreSQL. Heroku PostgreSQL has been a solid option for years. Crunchy Data's Crunchy Bridge is a recent offering with serious talent behind it.
