There are plenty of reasons to stay with AWS, RDS being one. Are there viable alternatives?

- m_mueller 2y agoI recently saw that Exascale, a Swiss provider, has something comparable, albeit afaik not autoscaling to the extent that Aurora is for example.
- jeffrallen 2y agoYou are talking about Exoscale DBAAS, here: https://community.exoscale.com/community/dbaas/ https://community.exoscale.com/community/dbaas/ (I work there.)
- Nemo_bis 2y agoThere's gazillion valid managed DB offers.
- liveoneggs 2y agonot cheaper than rds
- Nemo_bis 2y agoFirst time I hear someone claim RDS is cheap. What specifications do you have in mind? Scaleway costs approximately 51 % less, looking at on-demand postgresql instance with 8 GB RAM (db.t3.large vs. db-dev-l). https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/pricing/?pg=pr&loc=3 https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/pricing/?pg=pr&loc=3 https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/managed-databases/#cost-optimized-db-play2db-pro2 https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/managed-databases/#cost-...
- liveoneggs 2y agoI guess I am saying it's a good value more than its raw price being less than other offerings. The blue/green deploys, auto snapshotting, failover, upgrades, few-click resizing, etc justify the price vs running database servers (for me). I spend a lot of time looking for money in aws and never consider replacing RDS with anything else.
- mikaelronstrom 2y agoThere are lots of alternatives for database solutions with Kubernetes, in Hopsworks we use RonDB which is highly available and has a MySQL interface but also supports a REST API and even a prototype Redis service.
