Can you help me. Why wouldn't I just setup Postgres or a similar database on a less expensive and better known cloud provider (Digital Ocean, AlibabaCloud, Amazon, Azure, Google etc.)? Many of these have similar pre-configured database systems.
Hi, thanks for the question! Of course you can do that. Our offer is for people who want to get started fast without losing focus. Maintaining a database is a standard task that you could do yourself. But getting it right might consume some time, you probably want to invest in your application. You need to consider backups, possibly a failover solution, monitoring and a scaling strategy. If maintaining a database is the core of your business, go ahead. If you want to get started fast, maybe you give nukapi a shot.
