I am working on a SaaS that requires some sort of database (sql/nosql) to store data. It will be write heavy. I usually host my own databases however I want to use my time more for working on the code and less worrying about the database server. Anyone have any suggestions? price is a factor initially also.
This may be an obvious suggestion, but there is Amazon RDS for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MsSQL. I have used it for MySQL and we didn't have any issues, though it was a pretty small setup.
If you like MongoDB then MongoLab or MongoHQ.<p>If you like CouchDB then Cloudant.<p>If you want realtime then Firebase.<p>All are very reasonably priced.
