“It doesn’t matter because it’s just an ops problem” assumes that it’s okay to just throw a bunch of money at it via astronomical cloud fees or salaries for dedicated ops people. I’ve recently started working on a concept for this kind of engineering: “zero interest rate architecture.” This would refer to designs that lead to huge recurring cash burn because you can always just raise more money.

It's okay to have different roles and responsibilities within organisation and it's okay to outsource certain aspects of operations. AWS RDS costs essentially the same for PG vs MySQL (PG is about 3% more expensive) and I doubt it would be much different in ops salary if you do it yourself, so it's not astronomical.
