I think in fairness it's an apples to oranges comparison. How long will it take you to setup postgres on a VM and sort out and pay for somewhere to put backups

I think in fairness it's an apples to oranges comparison.
How long will it take you to setup postgres on a VM and sort out and pay for somewhere to put backups? Let's say only a hour, and your time is worth say $30/hour you've just spent 6 months of planetscale fees and you've still got to pay your VPS and backup provider.
- threatofrain 11mo agoIf you want apples to apples then Planetscale is compared to the ergonomics, pricing, and performance of the bests. If you want to compare you don’t analyze things in isolation by looking at your own expenses.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 11mo agoThat's one way to look at it. I personally think it's worth burning a few hours to learn how to do something yourself even if you don't immediately get value out of it.
- matt-p 11mo agoI already know how to do it, I just don't see the value in it.
