HarperDB
About HarperDB
HarperDB is the first distributed database with hybrid SQL and NoSQL functionality and a REST API. Known as a structured object store with SQL capabilities. Being a read/write optimized solution, a single node of HarperDB can simultaneously handle 20k writes per second and 120k reads per second.
HarperDB's features include data replication across the globe in under 100ms, responds in milliseconds, integrates API and database functionality into a single product, can be deployed anywhere (local, edge, colo, and/or in the cloud), and more. HarperDB uses role-based, attribute-level security to ensure that users can only gain access to the data they’re supposed to be able to access.

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.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Response from HarperDB
Thanks for the review, Damnik! We're actively adding additional SDKs and we're currently tuning the API to respond even faster.

Pros
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
Cons
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 Free tier benefits reduced over time

Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Reasons for Switching to HarperDB
Because of ease of convenience and simplicity for new developers. A very welcoming approach to SQL and NoSQL data format storage.Response from HarperDB

HarperDB for efficiency and easy scaling
Reviewed on 29/10/2022
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

I used this product with their free-tier/trial and found it to be pretty good. There are still some bugs to be worked out, but overall a positive experience.
Pros
I liked that it takes Mongo-like document structures and makes them SQL queryable.
Cons
It was slightly confusing trying to integrate this with a flask application at first.
