A versatile platform
- It supports NoSQL and SQL databases - With custom functions you can have the API and database on the same platform - It supports lots of programming languages - Good documentation
CONS- Not sure how easy it is to backup and download your data

HarperDB Overall Review
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.
PROSI 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. Also, you can create multiple data cluster based on the needs which is again a very simple process through HarperDB console, which otherwise would takes hours even days to setup a cluster manually. Also, the API support makes it easy to use across different platform without writing explicit DAO API.
CONSI tried to use it in my Django project but due to lack of support, I wasn't able to integrate it completely initially. Then, I have write some custom models classes and eventually I was able to integrate it. Besides that, the API can sometime create an overhead but not a major concern though; the server are responsive & fast.
Reasons for switching to HarperDB
To save time & development efforts building the explicit DAO API, I switched from MySQL to HarperDB
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review, Damnik! We're actively adding additional SDKs and we're currently tuning the API to respond even faster.

The Free tier benefits reduced over time
Neutral
PROSThis software provides ready made APIs to connect to DB. Saves deployment costs and time. Ease of use is great, plus the flexibility of SQL & NoSQL.
CONSThe benefits of Free tier have reduced significantly over past 2 years. 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. Also the pricing of Paid tier is unaffordable for me who lives in developing country, like India. They should amend their prices accordingly across countries.
Reason for choosing HarperDB
Because of ease of convenience and simplicity for new developers. A very welcoming approach to SQL and NoSQL data format storage.

Its worth
HarperDB is an easy walk-in for any type of developer, it has a SQL type query and JSON-based document formating. So, the data management and query writing is quite easy
CONSAvailability of helper packages. Rather than using Axios and sending post requests every time, I would like to have a package that does this for me behind the scene.
Reasons for switching to HarperDB
I was looking for a tool where I can upload and download data directly from a spreadsheet.

HarperDB for efficiency and easy scaling
The HarperDB is efficient and can be integrated directly into the web applications. The API responses are super fast and offers lag free experience. The cluster can be scaled easily and is very cost effective.
CONSHarperDB is a great platform and offers great performance. Sometime the data is unstructured such as videos, images in the database which can be tedious to store in HarperDB.
Reasons for switching to HarperDB
HarperDB didn't required the backend server APIs to communicate with the database and can directly communicate with the HarperDB from frontend.
