Database comparisons
Hosted database comparisons
Choose the right database engine and understand the plan details before you connect your application.
Start by choosing the engine
Database hosting is not one product with one universal winner. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse, and in-memory stores solve different kinds of problems. Choose the engine for the workload first, then compare the plan details on that engine's own page.
What to compare on every database page
- The engine's natural workload and data model
- Capacity tier and expected growth path
- Connection details and operational boundaries
- Backup and restore expectations
- Location choice in the US or EU
