alt Hacker NewsI use Postgres on RDS. Our database is several TB and runs a 24/7 production app. It seems fine. (earnest question) Why should I look into either/both of these?

Some slightly outdated information from PlanetScale [1] Especially now the have Postgres offering as well but most are still relevant. Most people would actually find cost reduction migrating. Similar story with Neon although I am more bias towards PS.
It is not that RDS dont work well. I think it is AWS being too greedy with their pricing and we have finally reached a point where it breaks our mental model on cost evaluation. And people are starting to look at alternatives.
