Engineering Manager

I liked the integrations for NodeJS and the simple UI. I also thought that their technical team reaching out to help was really great.

Software Engineer

I really like HarperDB's atomic data model and the ability to use both SQL and NoSQL queries. The database is fast and stable and easily deployable with docker.

Student of Software Engineering

I enjoyed the ease of controlling how I can delete test entries from the db.

Freelance Developer

Ease of use is great, plus the flexibility of SQL & NoSQL.

Data Scientist

It was slightly confusing trying to integrate this with a flask application at first.

I liked the no-setup part of HarperDB the most. It doesn't require any setup, you can get started by simply creating an account which saves the development time & efforts.

Software Developer

Once I got familiar with its Cloud instance interface, I realised how easy it is to use and get started as compared to other cloud databases which require a ton of settings and administrative tasks.

I was used to specifying which data type will be in each column but you don't have to do that for Harper DB which could give problem to the user.

I think of moving away from HarperDB due to this reason. 1 GB storage of DB and only one instance allowed, I mean it's too low.

MySQL

PostgreSQL

I liked the HarperDB database but I feel like it's in the evolving phase. There is a room for improvement. It offers very great features like API, data clustering across nodes, simple to use. Some more features like Django support especially the migration feature.

HarperDB for efficiency and easy scaling

I used this product with their free-tier/trial and found it to be pretty good. There are still some bugs to be worked out, but overall a positive experience. 

Free Tier for Personal Use

A versatile platform

Thanks for the review Andrew, we appreciate it! 

HarperDB is fast and extensible

Thanks, Ethan! We have great news for you, we will be releasing JWT authentication in our next release later this year with additional options coming in the future.

HarperDB is definitely my goto cloud DB recommendation

Thank you for the awesome review, Aman! We are always working to improve our documentation to help make developers' lives easier.

I had a fairly good experience with HarperDB. It's on-par with competitors like Amazon DynamoDB, Restdb.io, MongoDB and others. It allows SQL querying and integrates well with Python and other programming languages.

A Pretty Good Option for Companies Looking for a NoSQL Option

Understandable, we are constantly evolving the HarperDB Studio, and we'll take a look at Dynamo and Rest. Thanks for the info! 

Great concept

HarperDB Cloud --> useful for our project

Harper Db review

Thank you, Petros! We're actively discussing deploying HarperDB Cloud in regions outside of the US and we're hoping to have that complete by the end of 2020.

Great too, easy to use 

Thank you for the review, Peter! HarperDB supports complex SQL operations including DML operations, joins, and aggregations according to the ANSI SQL92 standard. Subselects are on our roadmap in the near future.

Thanks for the feedback, Jeet! HarperDB can be queried via SQL and NoSQL via our API, simplifying queries down to a single call. You can read more about them here: docs.harperdb.io.
