Re:Why companies move off Heroku (besides the cost) by sandGorgon on Thursday April 28, 2022 @01:22AM (#31189036)
genuinely curious - this is the first time im hearing of crunchydata in a "versus RDS" context. is there a pricing and feature comparison for RDS vs Crunchydata ? a honest tradeoff comparison.

We don't have anything published, but some of the basic summary on why us:

- We give you full Postgres super user access, so less restrictions

- Quality of support, whether it's the Postgres basics of indexing or you've found a crazy bug deep in Postgres. Our team contributes a lot to upstream Postgres itself and can go as deep as we need to, but in general quality of support is a big differentiator for us

- We've been able to beat in cases price to performance just on the mix of Postgres experience coupled with our experience running on AWS/other clouds.

- Not locked into a single cloud, can go from AWS to Azure and vice versa with click of a button.

There's more details, and more coming particularly around the developer experience and proactively improving your database for you. But that's the high level pitch.

We'll likely have something in our docs (https://docs.crunchybridge.com) soon to address it more directly.
