Ask HN: What is a good db as a service?
I am working on a SaaS that requires some sort of database (sql/nosql) to store data. It will be write heavy. I usually host my own databases however I want to use my time more for working on the code and less worrying about the database server. Anyone have any suggestions? price is a factor initially also.
- threeseed 12y agoIf you like MongoDB then MongoLab or MongoHQ. If you like CouchDB then Cloudant. If you want realtime then Firebase. All are very reasonably priced.

- hect0r 12y agoCloudant and MongoHQ are both pretty good and cost-effective. It would come down to DB preferences -- CouchDB v MongoDB.

- munimkazia 12y agoThis may be an obvious suggestion, but there is Amazon RDS for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MsSQL. I have used it for MySQL and we didn't have any issues, though it was a pretty small setup.
