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.
Good balance between easy to manage, pricing, docs and features.
DigitalOcean's offering is pretty solid. Easy to scale, great UI, automatic daily backups, decent pricing.
