It‘s nice that a self-hosting PaaS is built again, i have the hope that one in the end will really get traction and is not dead a few month after it has been announced.

But what i really would like to see would be a self-hosted postgresql as a service. All these solutions need to reinvent this again and again. If there would be one solution with a good backup concept (!) like wal-g integrated all these new PaaS could skip the DBaaS step and just concentrate on the code as a service part. Their feature set would be a lot smaller which may lead to these projects living longer.

Tldr: We need a self-hostable PostgreSql as a Service all these PaaS could depend on.

I self host Postgres all the time. I just install it on my server. Sometimes i use RDS if a feel fancy.

How do you want the responsibilities to be split between you the self-hoster and the software vendor?
