Advice on Database Labs, ElephantSQL, and Heroku Postgres

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 Database Labs?

      We manage an optimized Postgres image. You focus on your core app, not on becoming a database administrator.

      What is ElephantSQL?

      ElephantSQL hosts PostgreSQL on Amazon EC2 in multiple regions and availability zones. The servers are continuously transferring the Write-Ahead-Log (the transaction log) to S3 for maximum reliability.

      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.
