What are the benefits and limitations of Cloud databases?
| Benefits | Limitations | |
|---|---|---|
| Resources | Bundled resources to ensure best performance, priced by the hour | Resources cannot be changed once database is created. |
| Data | Nodes are replicated data to ensure availability of your data | Migrate data to new database if resources do not meet your needs |
What data storage vendors are available?
FeatureBase runs on the following vendor architecture:
| Feature | AWS S3 | Microsoft Azure |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | ARM | AMD |
| Externalized storage | Supported | Not supported |
| Backups | S3 buckets | BLOB Storage that keeps the data within the cloud provider |
| FeatureBase Nodes (per shape) | 3 | 3 |
| Shape replica factor | 2 | |
| Region | US-east-2 (Ohio) | eastus2 |
Azure uses internal SSDs (ephemeral storage) for your data. If FeatureBase nodes go down at once, data can be recovered from the latest backup.
