i know this is apples and oranges but that's 16 times the ram
the difference in price is really the value added by having someone else managing postgresql for you.
How long will it take you to setup postgres on a VM and sort out and pay for somewhere to put backups? Let's say only a hour, and your time is worth say $30/hour you've just spent 6 months of planetscale fees and you've still got to pay your VPS and backup provider.
5 minutes of inactivity makes it idle.
If I get one query every 5 minutes and each query takes 100ms for whole month, do I get changed for 720 hours or for 14 minutes (total compute time)?
I guess it is also worth changing marketing tactics for new demographics.
put that on a hertzner, do, lightsail server etc n you have 16x of the compute at the same price n 8x the memory.
pgdumball etc, mysql is even easier but I don't use it.
