This is HUGE!
I'm using the AWS stack for http://www.soundslice.com/ http://www.soundslice.com/ and I've been using MySQL instead of Postgres, purely because my hatred for MySQL is less than my hatred for being a sysadmin. It was a tradeoff, and I miss Postgres dearly every time I use MySQL.
This new Amazon offering solves that.
I wrote a little more about my AWS setup here: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/aws-notes/ http://www.holovaty.com/writing/aws-notes/
- pc86 13y agoLet me just say that I absolutely love soundslice. It's a great application!
- saltyknuckles 13y agoIts actually really really impressive
- adrianh 13y agoThanks! And it'll be even better once I migrate to Postgres. :-)
- rabidonrails 13y agoWow, Soundslice looks amazing! Excited to play around with it.
- saltyknuckles 13y agoHell fuck yeah this is huge!
- mmcclellan 13y agoCame here to say "This is huge!", found Django creator beat me to it.
- sync 13y agoHey, just took a look at soundslice, looks super nice. FYI, it doesn't look your payment modal works on smaller browser windows: https://www.monosnap.com/image/UvJbxMQEwkzqLH5btNJ7a9G6Q https://www.monosnap.com/image/UvJbxMQEwkzqLH5btNJ7a9G6Q ... no visible pay button, and the modal itself scrolls when you scroll the page.
- fat0wl 13y agoYea I was using MySQL on RDS just to escape the Heroku monolith. Funny that Heroku announced a new Postgres pricing model that is VERY expensive compared to old setup (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6712570 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6712570) just in time to be wiped off the map by RDS.
- fat0wl 13y agohey who downvoted this without replying?! Last time I badmouthed Heroku on here I got a reply from one of their employees asking me to fill out support tickets for errors I was getting in their apps...... O_o they're watching.
- avenger123 13y agoNo one's watching. Your initial comment just really didn't add any value. Calling Heroku monolith compared to Amazon is an understatement and I don't see Heroku being "wiped off the map" from this.
- ceejayoz 13y agohttps://twitter.com/scottvdp/status/401111184092315648 https://twitter.com/scottvdp/status/401111184092315648 > RDS 4XL vs Heroku Mecha: 40% cheaper on demand, 74% cheaper 1 year reserved, 82% cheaper 3 year reserved... with more features and capacity. If that's true, Heroku's Postgres offering isn't going to do well. "Wiped off the map" may be an overstatement, but not by that much.
- fat0wl 13y agoIf you listen closely you can hear the sound of an army of devteams uploading DB exports to Amazon.... & it would be louder if the rest could figure out where to put the custom DB URL parameter ;D

- coolrhymes 13y agoGood to see another Django creator. We are a proud django startup @kipinhall I couldn't believe my eyes when I read RDS Postgres offerings.
