Sort of ... but there are pretty serious limitations.

1. You are locked into Rackspace as your provider. MongoHQ provides multiple cloud providers.

2. They force you to shard. This increases operational and application complexity ... and may not offer any real advantages for the amount of data that you have.



I work for Rackspace.

On [1], you can actually keep your app in AWS and connect / migrate your data to OR over Direct Connect.

On [2], you don't have to shard. There is an option to scale vertically when you need to.

You can call RS people who can help guide you making the best decision on [1] or [2] based on your current and future situations.
