MongoDB Atlas vs. Redis Cloud

I would recommend MongoDB Atlas to every company who have a significant need in the NoSQL database and do not want to manage their infrastructure. Using MongoDB Atlas can significantly reduce your management time and cost, which saves valuable resources for other tasks. It also suits a smaller company as MongoDB Atlas scales up and down very quickly.

Redis Cloud is great for quick and easy development as well as deployment. It's reliable in production and makes a great primary Redis solution.

• Generous free and trial plan for evaluation or test purposes.
• New versions of MongoDB are able to be deployed with Atlas as soon as they're released—deploying recent versions to other services can be difficult or risky.
• As the key supporters of the open source MongoDB project, the service runs in a highly optimized and performant manner, making it much easier than having to do the work internally.

• Ease of setup and deployment via Heroku
• Reliability and splicity
• Fair pricing

• For someone new, it could be challenging using MongoDB Atlas. Some official video tutorials could help a lot
• Pricing calculation is sometimes misleading and unpredictable, maybe better variables could be used to provide better insights about the cost
• Since it is a managed service, we have limited control over the instances and some issues we faced we couldn't;'t know about without reaching out to the support and got fixed from their end. So more control over the instance might help
• The way of managing users and access is somehow confusing. Maybe it could be placed somewhere easy to access

• The only area of improvement I have found is the documentation is sometimes lacking and could be a little more comprehensive.

I would give it 8. Good stuff: 1. Easy to use in terms of creating cluster, integrating with Databases, setting up backups and high availability instance, using the monitors they provide to check cluster status, managing users at company level, configure multiple replicas and cross region databases. Things hard to use: 1. roles and permissions at DB level. 2. Calculate expected costs

We love MongoDB support and have great relationship with them. When we decided to go with MongoDB Atlas, they sent a team of 5 to our company to discuss the process of setting up a Mongo cluster and walked us through. when we have questions, we create a ticket and they will respond very quickly

In general, they all compete against each other, and each solution has its own advantages and disadvantages. While MongoDB Atlas was the way to go for some cases, however, other databases were more fit for some services that MongoDB Atlas, especially if they were managed by us, which means less cost, like Redis for example

We primarily selected Redis Cloud for 3 reason—it's performance and reliability, the overall low cost, and it can easily be scaled to meet our needs as we grow. More secondary to those reasons were the ease of use and how it could be used within our current technology stack without issue.

• Positive - Faster provisioning so we don't have development teams waiting.
• Positive - Automated backups and server management - eliminates need for dedicated DBAs.

Incentivized

• Redis Cloud is very affordable and therefore the cost is negligible when compared to the benefits— immediate ROI with very little startup costs.
