PostgreSQL is the worlds’ best database

Re:PostgreSQL is the worlds’ best database by sandGorgon on Friday April 03, 2020 @06:57AM (#22767954)

i wish there was a management layer that runs and operates high availability postgres databases on AWS/GCP/Azure...but is significantly cheaper.

AWS RDS makes it impossible to export snapshots to s3 (because the native snapshot storage is super expensive).

EC2 m5.xlarge w/ 5000 GB storage costs 700$ RDS db.m5.xlarge w/ 5000 GB costs 1000$

Why is there no SAAS that lets me BYO my own EC2 and just runs and gives me a dashboardy experience ESPECIALLY for snapshots and restores ?

Sounds like https://scalegrid.io/ could fit your use case

Check out ScaleGrid's BYOC plans. They are similar to RDS, but give you the option to host in your own AWS or Azure account. ScaleGrid supports MongoDB, Redis, MySQL and Postgres. https://scalegrid.io/pricing.html#section_pricing_byoc

GCP does have HA for postgresql: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/high-availability

GCP managed databases are more expensive than AWS.

They claim this is because (unlike AWS), they don't provision iops as "credits".

There is an opportunity to play in this price arbitrage space where you can take the cloud instances and manage a database on top of it.
