Databases

Databases which are offered as managed clusters or entirely serverless.

Managed

Hosted & managed databases usually require that you scale the cluster manually, and in some cases tune for performance or stability, thus manual intervention may be required.

• AWS Elasticsearch – Managed analytics and full-text search
• AWS RDS – Managed MySQL and Postgres
• AWS ElastiCache – Redis & Memcached
• Digital Ocean Postgres — Managed Postgres
• Compose – Myriad of managed databases (MongoDB, Redis, Postgres, etc)
• Google Cloud SQL – Fully-Managed PostgreSQL & MySQL
• InfluxDB – Timeseries database for low latency analytics
• Elastic Cloud – Elasticsearch provided by its creators

Serverless

A "serverless" database is elastic and scales on-demand with your workload, and typically require no tuning of any kind.

• AWS Aurora – Large scale MySQL & Postgres
• AWS DocumentDB - MongoDB Compatible, Fully managed document database service
• AWS DynamoDB – Document database with auto-scaling (though there is a delay)
• Azure Cosmos – Multi-model globally distributed (document, mongo protocol, graph)
• Firebase Cloud Firestore – Replicated document store
• Firebase Realtime Database – Realtime NoSQL database
• Google BigQuery – Serverless analytics for massive scale and low cost
• Google Cloud Datastore – Highly Scalable NoSQL Database
• Google Cloud Spanner – Horizontally scalable, strongly consistent, relational database
• FaunaDB – Globally distributed relational NoSQL with ACID transactions
