| Best use | Best for an analyst, developer, or small team that needs to inspect and join large data files and rerun analysis locally. It adds reviewable SQL without database-server setup. It is not a multi-user transactional database for many small concurrent writes from separate processes. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants backup, deployment, and scheduled-job alerts without building a notification app. It starts with one HTTP request and can be self-hosted with users and ACLs. It is not a complete incident-management or log-retention system. | Best for an individual developer or small team that needs encrypted, testable backups of project files and exported database dumps. It works with local or remote storage and can be scheduled by the operating system. It does not replace application-consistent database exports or recovery testing. |
