It's the Postgres Age

RDS is awful. The interface is shitty and buggy, offers graphs that you can't do anything with, the backups cause our system to fail every night, EBS backing has serious spiking problems, you can't access the replicas and it runs a shitty custom fork of MySQL

Thanks for the warning. I was pricing it out but was wary because of weird problems I've experienced with EC2 and inflexibility of ELB.

For what it's worth, I've used Postgres in production systems with great success.
