I’ve come to the same conclusion. Whenever I’ve looked at managed database pricing, I’ve always wanted to just do the management myself and just rent the underlying computation and storage.

There are so many things that can go wrong with managed services and they don’t hide the underlying implementation the way that things like block storage or object storage do.
