Written by Roman Meingassner | 2022-09-19

There are many good reasons to use CrateDB Cloud. Our team gathered for you the 5 main reasons you should try it out!

1 -Fast support from our team

CrateDB Cloud offers you support for your database directly from the source, our experts maintain the infrastructure and you always have access to the latest CrateDB versions. No need to rely on community support, you get the help you need, when you need it, straight from the source.

2 - We run and maintain your database.

CrateDB Cloud enables you to use your resources to solve your business challenges and not worry about operating and running your database. We will take care of running your database and all of the backend, freeing up resources you would typically dedicate to maintaining your database.

3 - Scale at the push of a button

CrateDB itself is already easy to scale, but CrateDB Cloud makes it even easier. On your own infrastructure you will need to plan for scaling your database, are there enough resources available, do I need to buy additional resources?

All of these questions are not important when scaling your database deployment with CrateDB Cloud. You don’t need to have an admin change configuration file, or add additional compute resources to your cluster. With CrateDB Cloud when you need more storage or compute, you just need to push the button and within minutes you will have your additional resources available.

4 - Fast results

With CrateDB Cloud there's no need to worry about setting up your infrastructure, configuring, and installing CrateDB; like scaling, spinning up a new CrateDB Cloud cluster is as easy as pushing a button, and you are ready to go.

5 - Always have access to your data

Last but not least, CrateDB Cloud provides high availability and ensures that you always have access to your data. If a worst-case scenario would occur, rest assured that the latest backup of your cluster is no more than 1 hour old. Also, with Logical replication, it is easy to connect your Cloud Cluster to the Edge and synchronize your data.

Now that you have all the reasons you need, let's give it a go.
