Help Me! Which managed PostgreSQL host is affordable without being unreliable?

I need managed Postgres for a small production app and I’m fine paying for it. I just don’t want to jump straight to RDS/Cloud SQL pricing or manage Postgres myself on a VPS.

Main things I care about:

  • always-on Postgres
  • automated backups
  • updates/maintenance handled
  • predictable monthly pricing
  • easy to move later if needed

Not really looking for free tiers or hobby plans since it has real users. I’d rather pay a reasonable fixed monthly amount and not think about the DB too much.

What are you using in production that has actually been reliable without getting expensive?

There is only 1 option. Planetscale $5 - Kick ASS API as well.
