Using Hubspot as a full blown user database / LMS?

[Baduist]

We run an online course business, and we're integerating all our systems with Hubspot via API.

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to take this to another level and use Hubspot as an alternative to our slow MySQL database, and use it as a base for our custom LMS.

This will mean we'll store students' progress and even homework answers as properties in Hubspot. It will mean each contact will have over 300-400 properties.

The question is - 

1. Is there a reason not to do this?

2. Will this work fast enough via API? (compared to MySQL queries from PHP)

Hi @Baduist ,

Yes, we can use this with serverless functions. Please follow the below documentation with using api via serverless function.
Link : https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/guides/getting-started-with-serverless-functions

LMS : We can do this with using hubspot contacts as a user, products and deals as a payment.

Hope this helps!

If we were able to answer your query, kindly help the community by marking it as a solution.

Thanks and Regards.
