Local mongodb with Compose.io as replica set?

Question

Basically, I'm considering this:

A local MongoDB server backed up by Compose.io. So Compose handles HA, backups, etc - but I get the speed of a local MongoDB instance.

Is this possible/sane? Would this actually solve the HA/backups problem, or just complicate it?

I have two DigitalOcean servers, but not the ops experience managing MongoDB.

Thanks!

The only solution I have to this is to create a local instance of mongo and periodically back it up and restore it to compose.io and basically keep the two in sync. There are a few projects we are looking at
