Can I ask what you are migrating away to?

Google Datastore wouldn't be a bad bet.

  • Nope! We were considering RethinkDB, but then its corporate support fell apart.

    • I enjoyed RethinkDB a lot. Sad to see the business go belly-up.

      Have you evaluated Couchbase? I've been looking for an excuse to try it, but I usually just fall back on Postgres.

    • Will you comment on why? Surely, if the database-as-a-REST-service model of DynamoDB is considered appropriate, Google Cloud Datastore will work too?

      Or is it precisely that which you've changed your minds about? The managed-REST-DB approach?

      I'm curious because I'm currently writing an app, and I've chosen Google Datastore as the DB backend, primarily because it's managed (no DB VM maintenance), and makes scalability easy.
