I have looked into CloudNativePG, but I dont really want to go the full Kubernetes route yet. I am looking for something simpler while still being reliable, with proper management capabilities and the ability to handle backups and restores.\n\nI am also unsure if I should start with a database cluster or just run a single instance. I have been looking into solutions like Autobase and Databasus as well. Does anyone have experience with these?\n\nIdeally, I would like to use a managed database service from a cloud provider, but they usually get expensive quickly and often come with limited RAM and storage. I am also open to self-hosting it on Hetzner if that makes more sense.\n\nWould appreciate hearing what you guys are using, any recommendations, or lessons learned from your setups.","offTopic":false},{"id":"b35981a9-248f-4243-a59d-29537697cf6a","excerpt":"What are the best Neon alternatives if I only need managed Postgres? — I’m looking for a managed Postgres provider and not a full backend platform.
