But aptible doesn't have managed postgres. I still have to do all the work of setting up a database and managing backups, upgrades, etc. The only thing aptible brings to the table is single tenant hardware and encryption by default. I can just get that from Amazon. Am I missing something about aptible? I don't understand the attraction although it does look fancy

Aptible absolutely has managed postgres, and it's great. I'm using it at this very second.

Where can I find out more? All I see on their marketing site is "database containers" which I interpreted as little more than a container that happens to run a database, not as something that manages backups, point-in-time restoration, multi-az failover, upgrades, and all the other things that RDS has built in that many folks would otherwise prefer to have an (expensive) postgres specialist setup and manage for you.
