Fully-Managed vs Cloud-Only Platforms
Ever thought about hosting your MongoDB instances in-house or on cloud platforms like AWS, GCP or Azure? It may seem cheaper, but in reality the cost of maintenance, performance tuning, and support can be quite high. It will take more time and effort to manage your data layer – expensive resources that could be invested in your core business of building apps. In a self-hosted scenario, you may very well end up incurring higher Total Cost of Ownership due to the complexity and unpredictable nature of workload requirements. Here’s a table that shows what you get from the two different hosting options:
Feature | Compose (Fully Managed Service) | Self-Hosted (Cloud Only Platforms) |
---|---|---|
Auto-scaling | Yes | No |
Auto-backup & restore | Yes | No |
One-click deployment | Yes | No |
Server configuration | Yes | Manual |
One-stop support | Yes Full service including server and database | No Separate vendors for databases, addon, servers, etc |
24/7/365 support | Yes | Manual Extra cost |
UI for common DB tasks | Yes | No |
Patch management | Automatic | Manual |
DB security | Yes | Manual |
Data browser | Yes | Manual |
DB health monitoring and alerts | Yes | Manual |
DB addons | Yes | Manual |
Automatic migration | Yes | No |
High availability | Yes | Manual Extra cost |
Multi-node replication | Yes | Manual Extra cost |
Data center flexibility | Yes | No |
Simplified pricing with clear Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) | Yes | No |
