Compose vs MongoLab: What are the differences?
What is Compose? We host databases for busy devs: production-ready, cloud-hosted, open source. Compose makes it easy to spin up multiple open source databases with just one click. Deploy MongoDB for production, take Redis out for a performance test drive, or spin up RethinkDB in development before rolling it out to production.
What is MongoLab? Database-as-a-Service for MongoDB. mLab is the largest cloud MongoDB service in the world, hosting over a half million deployments on AWS, Azure, and Google.
Compose and MongoLab can be categorized as "MongoDB Hosting" tools.
"Simple to set up" is the primary reason why developers consider Compose over the competitors, whereas "Development free tier" was stated as the key factor in picking MongoLab.
According to the StackShare community, MongoLab has a broader approval, being mentioned in 102 company stacks & 40 developers stacks; compared to Compose, which is listed in 82 company stacks and 19 developer stacks.
