There are a couple of points I'd disagree here.
1. I don't believe tenfold difference in pricing PostgreSQL vs Redis at fly.io is due to complexity, Postgres is much more complex. If I had to guess at why they priced it that way, I'd say it's because they choose more RAM-beefy machines to host their Redis instances. Other providers may have the pricing completely different.
2. It's been a decade that Lucene-based search engines are no longer the default choice. If for some reason PostresQL's FTS is not the right choice, there are many excellent alternatives like Meilisearch or Typesense.
- kukkeliskuu 1y ago1. fly.io sells redis hosted by upstash. But you are correct in the sense that default fly.io PostgreSQL was unmanaged and probably subsidized, and recent PostgreSQL is probably more expensive. But while I think you cannot directly say that tenfold increase in price means tenfold increase in complexity, I am just saying that it is complex. 2. It is surprisingly common to see people preferring Lucene-based search engines over Postgres. I don't know about your alternatives and not saying anything about them.
