my startup has a similar setup (elixir + postgres). we use aurora so we get automated failover. its more expensive but its just a cost of doing business.

- aledalgrande 2y agoLast time I looked at Aurora (just as it came out) it was hilariously expensive. Are the costs better now for a real use case?
- cultofmetatron 2y ago> it was hilariously expensive It still is. But you have to look at it in perspective. do you have customers that NEED high availability an will pull out pitch forks if you are down for even a few minutes? I do. the peace of mind is what you're paying for in that case. Plus its still cheaper than paying a devops guy a fulltime salary to maintain these systems if you do it on your own.
