How can MongoDB be a pain in AWS ? It is the easiest database in the world to setup. Download and run ./mongod. I've setup plenty of them in AWS and had zero issues.

And if we are talking about managed databases then it's equally dead simple to spin up a Compose/MongoLab instance in AWS.

Last I checked, the recommended production config of mongo, in the simplest case, required at least 3 separate servers configured in a master, slave, and arbitrator cluster. Compared with setting up AWS multi zone replicated RDS SQL servers (push a button), it is very much a pain.

Yes compose.io helps.
