Squids.io (squids.io/) is a cost-effective database hosting solution. I know they're planning to support PostgreSQL very soon. It allows you host through your own cloud account and charges you zero management fees.
Never heard of it, should explore more 😉👍
I do prefer a VPS droplet aka linode, DigitalOcean.
But I will be hosting the entire application on droplet. Or multiple applications on droplet. Heroku and AWS are too restrictive imo. Though great security defaults.
I see DO have over 50 pricing plans - basic, general purpose, cpu-optimized, memory optimized and storage optimized. The prices range from $6/mo to $2480/mo.
Have you use any of their services?
Usually I go for 5$ basic droplets(6$ is "premium Intel" , 5$ is basic intel) though 10$ droplets make sense just for the 50GB space. It's enough to run multiple applications/db servers as long as you know your way around linux, nginx/apache and the works.
Anything above 50$ a month and you are better off choosing bare metal servers from peeps like OVH cloud.
This is useful info, thanks for the share 🙏❤
I use scaleway as my VPS provider and have seen that they provide DBaaS(Postgresql in particular), although I have not tried it out myself.
It's quite flexible service and billed per hour. Note that it's EU based.

Awesome, should dig into this 👍 Thanks for the share! 😉
What is this for? A side project? If so, you don't need scalability.
Not in a rush to find one now, I was just curious to see the available options if the necessity arises one day 😉
Cost-wise the cheapest would be to host on the same box which is running your app. The advantage of databases as a service is they're easier to manage: upgrades, backups, etc. Personally, I haven't found that to be important for side projects.
Thanks for the share! 🙏❤
I've been really happy with the DigitalOcean Managed PostgreSQL service:
