having run the last 9 months on AWS Aurora I can say that no longer doing dbops is the absolute best
Never will I ever host a database ever again.
I don't care if confluent, redis or aws host it. I refuse.
There are still many advantages to running your own instance (be it on bare metal, or on a VM), instead of a hosted environment (I'm talking about PostgreSQL here).
It can be tuned precisely the way you want it, and the costs are much cheaper than AWS RDS.
We use RDS instances ourselves, and I'm fine with that. Simply stating that there is a tradeoff to be had.
I assume that that level of tweaking doesn't matter to me. I can already tweak most of the config file.
