But that's kind of a moot point. I mean, if you're even looking at the likes of DynamoDB or Spanner, it's because you need the scale of those engines. PostgreSQL is fantastic, and even working for Google, I 100% agree with you. Just use PG...until you can't. Once you're in the realm of Spanner and DynamoDB, that's where this discussion becomes more of a thing.
- silisili 3y agoNot necessarily true. DynamoDB on demand pricing is actually way cheaper than RDS or EC2 based anything for small workloads, especially when you want it replicated.
- GabeWeiss_ 3y agoFair enough, I'm not (obviously) as familiar with the AWS systems and how the price to performance ratio works out for all the products.
