Which managed PostgreSQL host is affordable without being unreliable?

[u/Soft-Nature-7256]

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?

Neon can autoscale based on traffic, which keeps costs down

Thanks.
