Azure Cosmos DB vs. Google Cloud Datastore

NoSQL platforms are very useful when it comes to security, speed, accuracy, high accessibility with high read and write power. Everything is managed under the cloud and we have the various capabilities of Azure and support for Microsoft products with us. Flexibility in price and variety of features, as well as real-time results, are some of the popular [features] of this platform.

Using Google Cloud Datastore in conjunction with Google AppEngine was a very seamless integration and much easier than using other datastores since so much of the configuration is abstracted for you. Because of this, creating simple applications is very easy and getting Google Cloud Datastore to power the backend ties everything together. If we were using Google Compute Engine, I'd imagine the same seamless experience would be there as well.

• Turn-key geo-redundancy with multi-master writes is unprecedented and unparalleled in the industry!
• Guaranteed low latency makes Cosmos DB an excellent fit for most of our performance-intensive situations.
• The tunable consistency model simplifies so many challenges in distributed systems engineering that otherwise require advanced knowledge of computer science topics. I continue to be impressed at how Cosmos DB has abstracted away so much complexity.

• It is hosted in GCP, our primary cloud provider.
• It integrates with all the services we use in GCP.

• When searching by default, it is case sensitive, which must be changed by default
• In many ways, the price should be more flexible according to the requested facilities, because the price is very expensive for startup companies.
• It is not fully compatible with most common Streaming Analytics tools applications and developers should be worked on it

• Part of the Google Cloud Platform walled garden.
• Pay for read/writes to the datastore, in addition to storage.
• Not many libraries exist.

It's efficient, easy to scale, and works. We do have to do a bit of administration, but less now than when we started with this a couple of years ago. Microsoft continues to improve its self-management capability.

I give Google Cloud a full score because it satisfies our needs so well. We host most of our infrastructure on Google Cloud and using Google Cloud Datastore helps us to solve our NoSQL storage problem. and Google Cloud Datastore is so scalable and elastic. It saves us lots of time to maintain and saves us money.

Like I said, Cosmos is the way to go. From all of the services that Azure has, Cosmos is very robust in terms of usability. It's ever-evolving and integrates with other applications seamlessly. The interface is pretty easy to understand. I implemented various solutions for my company and Cosmos was one of them.

The support team is very responsive and we are generally satisfied with Microsoft support, in my opinion support team of a product and service is just as valuable as its quality and performance. Telephone answering, 24-hour hotline, email support and ticketing are excellent.

Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB is more affordable than many other solutions and works incredibly well if you're within the Azure ecosystem.

We selected Google Cloud Datastore as one of our candidates for our NoSQL data is because it is provided by Google Cloud, which fits our needs. Most of our infrastructure is on Google Cloud, so when we think about the NoSQL database, the first thing we thought about is Google Cloud Datastore. And it proves itself.

• Expensive but works if your infra is on Azure data center.
• No latency and nearly no downtime.
• Takes time for end users to adapt.

• Simple billing part of Google Cloud Platform
• No time spent configuring and maintaining Google Cloud Datastore.
• Very good uptime for our applications.
