Same for us. We're migrating to GKE but are accessing Postgres over a gateway and leaving our DB heavy services on AWS... This was very good news.

Same here.

Plus RDS was the only reasonable option at that price tier (with high availability and multi-AZ). I think competition was sorely needed.

RDS was pretty much becoming a monopoly on this front.

Is [Compose](www.compose.com) comparable?

They have a HA postgres offering (not sure about multi-az) and I thought I'd heard good things about them in the past?
