Database Labs vs Heroku Postgres: What are the differences?
Developers describe Database Labs as "Deploy a cloud Postgres server in 1 minute". We manage an optimized Postgres image. You focus on your core app, not on becoming a database administrator. On the other hand, Heroku Postgres is detailed as "Heroku's Database-as-a-Service. Based on the most powerful open-source database, PostgreSQL". Heroku Postgres provides a SQL database-as-a-service that lets you focus on building your application instead of messing around with database management.
Database Labs and Heroku Postgres can be categorized as "PostgreSQL as a Service" tools.
Some of the features offered by Database Labs are:
- Provision in Minutes
- Zero Management
- Continuous Backups
On the other hand, Heroku Postgres provides the following key features:
- High Availability
- Rollback
- Dataclips
Considering moving part of our PostgreSQL database infrastructure to the cloud, however, not quite sure between AWS, Heroku, Azure and Google cloud. Things to consider: The main reason is for backing up and centralize all our data in the cloud. With that in mind the main elements are: -Pricing for storage. -Small team. -No need for high throughput. -Support for docker swarm and Kubernetes.
Good balance between easy to manage, pricing, docs and features.
DigitalOcean's offering is pretty solid. Easy to scale, great UI, automatic daily backups, decent pricing.
