So their dev plan is $116 in US West on AWS. I don't know Azure but do know AWS. PITR restores are not in seconds but in hours and you lose data. "... a user-initiated point-in-time-restore operation will be required. This operation can take several hours to complete, and any data updates that occurred after the latest restorable time (typically within the last five minutes) will not be available." Failover with AWS is generally 1-4 minutes? Someone fill in the blanks here? * The smallest multi-AZ with failover MSSQL you can get runs $1,503 on AWS. * Undifferentiated Postgresql is pretty cheap - you should be able to get failover for about $110 or so there. I'm just pointing out that commercial / differentiated product offerings (which is what this is), beyond just basic postgresql costing so LITTLE for HA would actually be somewhat unusual. In enterprise sales these prices for HA are so low no one would even know how to contract for them. What happens is once you need this level of uptime you can afford it (in most cases). Quick feedback my side - $150/month to try something and then $500/month in production is not unreasonable for I think a fair number of use cases. Making the "try it" pricing as cheap as possible, and feature limiting is a good thing I think so the onboarding step is easier. Folks with money to spend are used to sometimes TERRIBLE support despite spending big money on big players. One thing these smaller places have, if you are giving them $10K/month - they usually answer the phone or email! A secret benefit.
