Interesting post. But there other things to consider in addition to the price, like the supported versions of PostgreSQL, the supported PostgreSQL extensions, and service availability during automatic updates.
To illustrate my comment, I like the Google Cloud ecosystem, but Google Cloud SQL doesn't support PostgreSQL 10 and 11, and when using a single node, there is a downtime during automatic updates. DigitalOcean Managed Databases are more recent but, according to their documentation, these "issues" are solved.
- brightball 8y agoAgreed. I really like a lot of the GCP experience, but Cloud SQL definitely feels like this service they just added and forgot about. There are a lot of factors that impact how you select a cloud provider, but database offerings are always very high on the list. Amazon clearly gets it. Digital Ocean became legitimate when they added one finally. Google had other offerings in the DB space that are compelling but their PG offering needs a lot of work. I was really hoping they would be the company that purchased Citus.
