Detailed Comparison
mLab is the largest cloud MongoDB service in the world, hosting over a half million deployments on AWS, Azure, and Google. | RethinkDB is built to store JSON documents, and scale to multiple machines with very little effort. It has a pleasant query language that supports really useful queries like table joins and group by, and is easy to setup and learn. |
On-demand provisioning on the major clouds. Seamless, zero-downtime scaling and high availability via auto-failover on production-ready plans;
Unlimited backups on Dedicated plans; free daily backup on other plans. Free and easy backup restores;
Web GUI for editing documents, running queries (including saved searches), and viewing results in tabular format;
Dedicated plans support encryption-at-rest, include SSL for free, and allow for custom firewalls as well as VPC peering | JSON data model and immediate consistency.;Distributed joins, subqueries, aggregation, atomic updates.;Secondary, compound, and arbitrarily computed indexes.;Hadoop-style map/reduce.;Friendly web and command-line administration tools.;Takes care of machine failures and network interrupts.;Multi-datacenter replication and failover.;Sharding and replication to multiple nodes.;Queries are automatically parallelized and distributed.;Lock-free operation via MVCC concurrency. |

What are some alternatives to MongoLab, RethinkDB?
MongoDB
MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents that can vary in structure, offering a dynamic, flexible schema. MongoDB was also designed for high availability and scalability, with built-in replication and auto-sharding.
MySQL
The MySQL software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions.
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft® SQL Server is a database management and analysis system for e-commerce, line-of-business, and data warehousing solutions.
SQLite
SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file.
Cassandra
Partitioning means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically repartition as machines are added and removed from the cluster. Row store means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL.
Memcached
Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.
MariaDB
Started by core members of the original MySQL team, MariaDB actively works with outside developers to deliver the most featureful, stable, and sanely licensed open SQL server in the industry. MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
Compose
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.
ArangoDB
A distributed free and open-source database with a flexible data model for documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance applications using a convenient SQL-like query language or JavaScript extensions.
