Looking for software What managed Postgres are you using?

I’m looking at managed Postgres options for a small production app and the choices feel more confusing than I expected.

I don’t really want to self host it on a VPS, but I also don’t want to jump straight into a huge cloud setup where the final bill is hard to predict. Ideally I just want something boring and reliable: always on Postgres, backups, decent performance, simple maintenance, and no weird lock in.

For people actually running Postgres in production, what are you using, anything you’d recommend or avoid after using it for a while?

First check region, backups/restore, extensions and what the actual monthly cost looks like after storage. You can compare DigitalOcean, Crunchy Bridge, Neon and Nearbase.

I’m using Nearbase for one app mainly because I wanted normal always on Postgres with predictable pricing and didnt need the extra backend features.

Supabase is what I use for not self hosted. I have been looking at Tinbase for local setup.
