How about cutting that cost to 1/10 of what you’re paying AWS, for a much better server? Since you’re running EC2, I assume you’re able to manage a server. Get a Heztner server and run your db locally:

Run back up hourly if you need to. You do not need AWS, not for what you’re using them for.

I have expiring free credits and I really like RDS Performance Insights :)

I would probably move to somewhere else after the credits run out. Will check out Heyzner then. Thanks for recommending.
