The question I keep asking everybody is: "Where do I host my Postgres if I want to have the option to grow disk without paying for higher VM tier?". Specifically assuming I'm managing Postgres myself, not going through Heroku etc. So far only AWS seems to give you that option.
- opendais 13y agoI believe Linode used to have the option to attach extra storage but you'd still need to reformat, merge, etc. Personally, for high diskspace growth needs, I just use a dedicated where I can just get them to throw additional disks in with little to no downtime.
- SpenserJ 13y agoThey still have that option, but you're limited to an additional 12GB (at least on the 2GB plan). Costs $1/mo per GB that you add on.
- rorrr2 13y agoIf you want tons of disk space, just get a cheap dedicated server. OVH has a 2TB one for $39/month. Hetzner has auctioned dedicated servers with 160GB space for 21 euro ($27.8) and 640GB for 23 euro ($30.4).
