If you can offer some sort of “hobby” plan with a limited I/O and DB size that would be great for hobby projects like what I build. I’ve used RDS before and it is great, but the cost is a bit eye watering when we are talking about less than one user every 10 minutes.
I’ve found Jaws DB works well for my needs (and pricing), but given they are layered on AWS it does feel like I’m still a bit limited - ie it would be good to still access the DB server so I can spin up multiple DBs (pre-prod, production etc), despite my usage being minimal.
If DO can hit a sub $10pm price point (even with severely restricted performance) that would be awesome!
