Does mid six figure mean ~$500k?

That sounds insane for a crud app with one million users.

What am I missing?

I’ve seen startups with a thousand active users paying $50k/month (though that’s overall costs, not just db). It’s really easy to waste a lot of money doing nothing.

$500k for only 100 millions rows db also sounds crazy

I bet it is cost of query processing (CPU) and traffic (network throughput) plus ofc provider markup.
