Google Cloud Datastore vs. Oracle NoSQL Database

If you want a serverless NoSQL database, no matter it is for personal use, or for company use, Google Cloud Datastore should be on top of your list, especially if you are using Google Cloud as your primary cloud platform. It integrates with all services in the Google Cloud platform.

Oracle NoSQL Database is well-suited for you if your data formats are not consistent, if you have limited hardware resources, if you higher data throughput (whether the database is on the cloud or running locally), and if you don't need a declarative query language to maintain a standardized schema of your data. If you need reduced data redundancy and require ACID compliance, you are better off finding an SQL database solution.

• Automatically handles shards and replication.
• Schema-less & NoSQL.
• Fully managed.

• Data-model flexibility. Unlike RDBMS solutions, Oracle NoSQL does not restrict you to a predefined set of data types.
• Ability to Handle an Increased Amount of Traffic. As Oracle NoSQL can process queries much quicker than Oracle Database, Oracle NoSQL is able to respond to a lot more queries in the same amount of time.
• Data-model simplicity. In SQL-oriented databases, there is a learning curve in learning the relationship between databases, tables, rows, and keys. On the other hand, Oracle NoSQL's key-value based storage is much easier to get the hang of.

• It is hosted on GCP, which makes it harder if your company have multi-cloud strategy.
• When you want to migrate to other cloud providers, there can be a caveat.

• Fewer analytical functions to choose from. When compared to Oracle Database, there is significant difference in the amount of built-in analytical functions.
• Eventual data consistency. It is not guaranteed that a write or delete query will be immediately visible for subsequent queries.
• Data redundancy. As there are no mechanisms that insure data integrity, users are more likely to have redundant data across their documents.

For the amount of use we're getting from Google Cloud Datastore, switching to any other platform would have more cost with little gain. Not having to manage and maintain Google Cloud Datastore for over 4 years has allowed our teams to work on other things. The price is so low that almost any other option for our needs would be far more expensive in time and money.

We selected Google Cloud Datastore as one of our candidates for our NoSQL data is because it is provided by Google Cloud, which fits our needs. Most of our infrastructure is on Google Cloud, so when we think about the NoSQL database, the first thing we thought about is Google Cloud Datastore. And it proves itself.

I have not used any other types of NoSQL databases.

• Simple billing part of Google Cloud Platform
• No time spent configuring and maintaining Google Cloud Datastore.
• Very good uptime for our applications.

• We pay less for computing resources, as Oracle NoSQL databases respond quicker than our previous SQL databases.
• Our database administrators and software developers do not need to worry about "data massaging" and can focus on perfecting application logic.
• Oracle NoSQL has built-in integration to other Oracle products, so we didn't not need to spend money on building custom integrators or higher additional developers.
