Can you elaborate on why it is a really bad idea?

Because running you're own DB on a VPS means:

- Dealing with sec upgrade for PG and Linux

- Dealing with backups

- Dealing with HA, so settings up slaves / replica, then what do you do when something goes wrong? Do you manually SSH and do some magic?

- Network security / usernames / passwords

- ect ...

Clearly what startup don't want to do and usually lacks expertise into.
