They can't afford database administration? Is it that expensive to hire a DBA?

Pre-seed stage startup of two people. No, we can't hire a DBA.

Good luck with the startup. TBH, I think going for as much managed solutions as possible while you bootstrap makes sense. Something more tailor-made often doesn't make sense until you start scaling.

Thank you! Yes, totally agree. I do hope to get there one day and would LOVE nothing more than to have a DBA take this to the next steps when we're bigger.

the temptation to do it all yourself is strong when you're technically capable. but offloading to managed solutions is a huge benefit

They listed some prices. It's like $150 per month.
