Interesting, thanks - I assume on EC2 you were running your own database servers? (Just based on the fact that you don't mention RDS.) This would keep costs down significantly in most cases although I assume they get transferred into staff costs if you've got people maintaining them to get the same level of support for things like backup, replication, etc that you get for "free" in RDS...?
- jedberg 3y agoYes, we ran Postgres on EC2. I admined it myself both in AWS and in the datacenter. RDS didn't exist at the time. :) At the time we and Heroku were running the two largest Postgres clusters on EC2.
