Ask HN: Cost Effective Managed Postgres for Next.js App

1 points by dkpk 3y ago

Hi everyone. I am looking for a managed Postgres solution for a full stack Next.js app, means serverless. I have gone through Neon & Vercel Postgres. Suggestions needed.

What blockers did you run into on Vercel Postgres and Neon? What do you expect to spend?

  Haven’t integrated with either of them, still evaluating. I am looking for a solution that scales with the product. Anticipating to have atleast two databases - one production and one staging. Quick context on the product - it’s a SaaS product similar to Linear (project management).

    Still unclear to me why the two solutions you founds don't scale. Is pricing the issue ($20 USD/month minimum)?
    - dkpk 3y ago
      Yes, exactly. Per database pricing is cost effective enough, but $20 plan is something that I am trying to avoid. In that case, going ahead with Neon only seems viable. But I am unsure if I will be using branching and other features.

Oracle OCI might be a thing to look into

I am the CEO of Nile, serverless Postgres for modern SaaS. We have built Postgres specifically for SaaS use cases. Take a look if it is interesting https://www.thenile.dev/ https://www.thenile.dev/
