Better than Planetscale at 2.5 per GB and you have to pay for replicas.
How can it be your largest expense but running your own db would save only a couple of bucks?
How expensive is this compared to, for example AWS RDS?
Did you check the cost to run it on Motherduck (https://motherduck.com/)?
what is your backend stack ?is redshift that cost effective ?
Why is postgres particularly overpriced in clouds?
Seems a little pricey.. are they competing with AWS Managed Postgres?
Hmm.. It seems expensive. For this price I would chose Oracle Database RDS. Small Oracle DB instance is ~120/month on AWS.
Sure, but we're addressing people who are so far on the other end of the spectrum they're using a "serverless" database where they pay for the number of rows scanned per query. I think a managed DB is a better middle-ground for their capability level while still delivering massive cost-savings.Amazon RDS lowest-tier runs about $13/mo for 10GB storage, 2 vCPUs and 1GB memory with automated backups and push-button restoring. And that would have likely met all of their n
Why not just use DynamoDB at that point, would likely be cheaper.
