Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a PostgreSQL image on hardened Amazon Linux 2023, with software support included. Pricing is charged per running EC2 instance hour. The many dimensions are not tiers or feature levels. Each one maps to a specific EC2 instance type and size, from small general-purpose instances up to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-focused instances. Your hourly rate depends on the instance type you choose. Larger or specialized instances carry different rates than smaller ones. You stop paying when you stop the instance, so cost scales with usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance measured per hour. The dimension name matches an AWS instance type and size. You pay the hourly software rate for each hour that instance runs. Two running instances of the same type accrue two hourly charges at once.
The software charge meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage or other resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour software charge.
Yes. Each instance type and size is its own billing dimension with its own hourly rate. If you resize or move to a different instance family, billing follows the rate for the new type. There is no upfront commitment, so cost tracks the instance you run.

Very easy to use and works like you are running postgres on your own
Reviewed on Oct 30, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and customisable like running on onprem env.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once your create a postgres with a port using cloud formation it is not possible to change it. You need to delete or detatch the instance from cloud formation and reattach it. Which is not great experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running postgresql locally or in onprem requires tremendous resource which is greatly reduced if i use cloud version.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It comes with security features and tools required to run a production-grade database, making it a reliable and secure choice for hosting. It is quick to select and even more quicker to instantiate. It is easy to implement as it comes with intuitive settings which any developer can use. It is easy to integrate in most of the languages, We in our organization used it with Java and Golang.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of now, It's really a superb DB if you want to migrate your data in a hurry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we used to run PostgreSQL on our on-premise server, we needed to patch the security updates manually. Whenever there was a new version of PostgreSQL, we had to manually update our software. But this is not the case with PostgreSQL on Amazon Linux 2 as it comes with an auto-update feature and the security patches are automatically applied as soon as they arrive.
