Ask HN: Anyone using Digital Ocean managed databases for production?

2 pointsdmfjfj2 comments

I was wondering if anyone is using their managed databases for production and what's your review of their reliability? They launch in Feb but I couldn't find any reviews online. I figured HN will be the right audience to ask.

I've been using CouchDB for the past few years on new development so I've not used them, but I might if they offered CouchDB as an option.

I like the idea of it. Right now I make a snapshot of a server with CouchDB installed and mostly configured when I want to spin up a new one. I have it on a $10 per month vps so I can scale up from there.

I've been migrating my site to use Digital ocean managed databases but it seems the performance might take a hit for my tables that have more than a million rows.
