Database costs are very high.

I am not sure I know the reason behind it honestly.

Either you go with something like Dynamodb or planetscale or the least you pay is 40€/m using AWS Aurora serverless.

As soon as databases start to charge for computing time the cost balloon out of reach of hobby projects.

Because the alternative, self hosting, is labor intensive and requires experience.
