I think Citus Data is doing something right, they have an alternative to AWS RDS and some additional features. It still runs on AWS, but I think everyone who has tried to run PostgreSQL RDS on AWS has seen how slow it can be. A consumer grade laptop can be 10x-100x more performant than a cheap T2 medium RDS instance. Managing your own PostgreSQL with HA and replication is a ton of work. And for many small to medium sized companies, using a hosted service makes sense. But open source has a problem today, there is a huge lack of contribution in some projects. The older the project is, the more it seems to struggle.
