Researched Rackspace ObjectRocket but chose Amazon DynamoDB: We utilize CloudWatch monitoring, the Simple Notification Service, and the VPC solution for VPN connections.
Previously, our product was exclusively sold as an on-premises solution. Once we decided on AWS for a cloud hosting platform, we were able to... Read more →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Its subscription cost is lower than similar databases offered by other vendors."
  • "You can get committed capacity or transaction-based pricing. If you're doing it on demand, they charge based on whether you're reading or writing. They charge $1.25 for every million rights to the database and 25 cents for every million reads from the database. The first 25 gigabytes of storage are free, and they charge 25 cents a gigabyte a month. So, it's a very different world. It's a quarter a gigabyte a month. You can store a lot of data. They have a separate fee for automated backup, and if you want it globally distributed, where it's distributed around the world, there's a slightly different price."
  • "I would rate the pricing for this solution a four out of five."
  • "It is a little expensive."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a seven. It is not the cheapest, but it is not the costliest either."
  • "Amazon DynamoDB is cheap."
  • "Compared to a high-end relational database, it's cheap."
  • "For our use case usage, DynamoDB's pricing was okay. However, for high-traffic applications, the pricing structure becomes less attractive."

  • "Cosmos should be cheaper. We actually intend to stop using it in the near future because the price is too high."
  • "There is a licensing fee."
  • "For the cloud, we don't pay for the license, but for the on-prem versions, we do pay."
  • "Cosmos DB is a PaaS, so there are no upfront costs for infrastructure. There are only subscriptions you pay for Azure and things like that. But it's a PaaS, so it's a subscription service. The license isn't perpetual, and the cost might seem expensive on its face, but you have to look at the upkeep for infrastructure and what you're saving."
  • "The price of Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB could be a bit lower."
  • "The cost is the biggest limitation of this solution."
  • "Azure is a pay as you go subscription."
  • "The RU's use case determines our license fees."

    Overview

    Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. You can use Amazon DynamoDB to create a database table that can store and retrieve any amount of data, and serve any level of request traffic. Amazon DynamoDB automatically spreads the data and traffic for the table over a sufficient number of servers to handle the request capacity specified by the customer and the amount of data stored, while maintaining consistent and fast performance.

    DocumentDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service built for fast and predictable performance, high availability, elastic scaling, global distribution, and ease of development. As a schema-free NoSQL database, DocumentDB provides rich and familiar SQL query capabilities with consistent low latencies on JSON data - ensuring that 99% of your reads are served under 10 milliseconds and 99% of your writes are served under 15 milliseconds. These unique benefits make DocumentDB a great fit for web, mobile, gaming, and IoT, and many other applications that need seamless scale and global replication.

    The ObjectRocket platform offers fully managed instances of MongoDB and Redis in data centres across the globe. The platform combines open source technologies with best of breed hardware for ultimate performance. We used the experience we have building the systems that power some of the busiest web sites and applications to create an optimised, scalable, reliable, and easy to use database as a service.

    Deploying a database on the ObjectRocket platform eliminates the need to do any type of system administration or maintenance of the database server itself. We proactively monitor all database instances taking action when necessary to ensure your database is operating at peak performance and that availability is never compromised, including DBA services such as data architecture consultation.
