- 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

- Not sure how easy it is to backup and download your data

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.

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. 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.

I 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.

This 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.

The 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.

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

Availability 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.

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.

HarperDB 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.
