MongoDB Stitch vs tsuru: What are the differences?

Developers describe MongoDB Stitch as "Backend as a Service for web and mobile applications". MongoDB Stitch lets developers focus on building applications rather than on managing data manipulation code, service integration, or backend infrastructure. Stitch lets you focus on building the app users want, not on writing boilerplate backend logic. On the other hand, tsuru is detailed as "Extensible and open source Platform as a Service software". tsuru is an open source polyglot cloud application platform (PaaS). With tsuru, you don’t need to think about servers at all. You can write apps in the programming language of your choice, back it with add-on resources such as SQL and NoSQL databases, memcached, redis, and many others. You manage your app using the tsuru command-line tool and you deploy code using the Git revision control system, all running on the tsuru infrastructure.

MongoDB Stitch and tsuru can be categorized as "Platform as a Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by MongoDB Stitch are:

• REST API to MongoDB Atlas
• Declarative data access controls
• Service integrations (AWS S3, Twilio...)

On the other hand, tsuru provides the following key features:

• Fast and secure. The entire process is really simple with no special tools needed, just a simple git push.
• Scaling in Tsuru is completely painless. Just add a unit and Tsuru will take care of everything else.
• Tsuru is built to be extensible. Through services you can provide anything your application needs.
