Advice on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, Database Labs, and Heroku Postgres
Jorge Perez
Considering moving part of our PostgreSQL database infrastructure to the cloud, however, not quite sure between AWS, Heroku, Azure and Google cloud. Things to consider: The main reason is for backing up and centralize all our data in the cloud. With that in mind the main elements are: -Pricing for storage. -Small team. -No need for high throughput. -Support for docker swarm and Kubernetes.

What is Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL?
Amazon RDS manages complex and time-consuming administrative tasks such as PostgreSQL software installation and upgrades, storage management, replication for high availability and back-ups for disaster recovery. With just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, you can deploy a PostgreSQL database with automatically configured database parameters for optimal performance. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database instances can be provisioned with either standard storage or Provisioned IOPS storage. Once provisioned, you can scale from 10GB to 3TB of storage and from 1,000 IOPS to 30,000 IOPS.
What is Database Labs?
We manage an optimized Postgres image. You focus on your core app, not on becoming a database administrator.
What is Heroku Postgres?
Heroku Postgres provides a SQL database-as-a-service that lets you focus on building your application instead of messing around with database management.
