Hello Indie Hackers,
What Postgres DB providers do you use or do you self host postgres and administer it yourself?
Just curious on how one usually hosts their production database here.
Thanks.
I've been using RDS on AWS. Still on the free tier, so I don't know how much it will cost after that. So far, so good
We plan on using https://render.com/ for https://tolt.io
At first glance, it looks pretty solid.
I’m pre-launch. In my non-prod environment, my Spring Boot back-end and PostgreSQL database run as Docker containers on the same $5 DigitalOcean droplet. When I move to production, I’ll most likely move to managed PostgreSQL on DigitalOcean.
Something else I’ve considered is rewriting the backend as Next.js API routes and hosting it (with the Next.js frontend) on Vercel using the same data center as one of the CockroachDB data centers and moving the database to CockroachDB serverless.
I've recently been using Supabase to manage the database for my side project ShopNote. I've been really impressed with it so far 👍
I only dabble with coding in my spare time, and it's my first time working with Postgres, but have found it easy to work with. It's got Auth capabilities built in, works nicely with NextJS and the API takes a lot of the effort out of writing queries.
Definitely worth checking out in my opinion!
We use the managed solutions from both AWS (for prod) and Azure (for dev). It's been working great for us and cheap because we don't have that much usage yet.
Started out with self hosted but then Digital Ocean released managed postgresql. Been using it since, works great!
