I'm interested in the managed DB part of this writeup, specifically that OP chose Lightsail. The last time I looked into it, Lightsail was MySQL only, so that was good to know. I wrote a PostgreSQL DBaaS Calculator that got some traction here a while ago, and I just updated it this evening to add Lightsail to see how it stacks up: https://barnabas.me/articles/postgres-dbaas.html#calculator https://barnabas.me/articles/postgres-dbaas.html#calculator No surprise, Lightsail is similar pricing to RDS with a 1-year commitment, but it's month-to-month. It's a pretty good deal until you need more than 8 GB memory, 240 GB storage, 2 cores ($115/month Standard plan). But Azure or AWS RDS are the ones to beat.
