Nightscout’s community and users are mostly families and definitely not experienced developers, so we had to make it as easy to use as we could. We have a critical need for simplicity and affordability in the technology we use, and mLab certainly fits this description with its Database-as- a-Service platform. Using mLab, our parents – with no coding skills – are able to quickly implement and effectively operate their own DIY cloud databases. It really is quite a feat, and a tremendous service to the children and individuals whose CGM data is now so much more easily accessible.
