Dev/test databases are an absolute killer feature, and almost all companies that start using Trove will definitely use it for their dev/test environments. This provides developers with the ability to freely create and dispose of database instances at will. This ability helps them be more productive and removes any lag from when they want it to when they get it.

The capability of being able to take a backup, run a database, and restore the backup to another server is especially key when it comes to these kinds of workloads.

Trove is used in production for any database that supports low-risk applications, such as some web applications. With the introduction of different redundancy mechanisms, such as master-slave in MySQL, this is becoming more suited to many production environments.
