COMMUNITY

From the forums

The r/PostgreSQL community values it as a solid option for multi-cloud managed services, especially for Kafka and Postgres. The consensus is that it is very competitive on price at medium scale and that its technical support stands out. The recurring complaint is that it blocks sign-up with personal emails, which frustrates indie developers.
