I suspect this is a response to RDS introducing Postgres support last year [0]. I switched to RDS from managed Heroku DBs at that point because there wasn't enough added value from Heroku to justify the abstractions (plus I wanted to have at least part of our infrastructure not bound up in a single vendor). But these automatic profiling and diagnose features look great, and it can be a headache to find problematic queries in my RDS instance even with tools like NewRelic. I may yet regret moving...
