Just get yourself a free Bluemix account, add the compose DB services when they become available (and they will), and if your usage is on that hobbyist level, you'll only pay what you're paying now. You don't even have to use Bluemix itself for runtime hosting, you can access most Bluemix services from your localhost or other app environments.
