+
+What to look for when chosing:
+
+1. Portability: how easy is to export and import data into a service?
+2. Maintenance: how easy is to install, upgrade, migrate and restore the service?
+3. Security: how secure the service look like? How upstream handles security? What's the service security track record?
+4. Stability: does the system is stable or is full of bugs?
+5. Maturity: does the architecture and data model of the service changes very often? Are there a community and many developers?
+
+Sometimes is better not run a service than to do it poorly.
