I prefer MangoDB https://github.com/dcramer/mangodb, developed by the founder and CTO of Sentry as a database to operate on a cloud scale

> 1/256th vCPU & 4mb RAM. Don't use it all up now!

The compute costs on some databases are absurd. I was considering timescaledb recently

0.5 vcpu and 2 gb of ram is $32 a month.

Also the prices do not increase linearly, 1vcpu and 4gb of RAM is $149 a month.

What the actual fuck!

That being said, I will give a shoutout to Neon. You actually get a very good db just on their free plan. Let's see how long that lasts before they start the squeeze.

> Developers from these companies have IPs that show up in our logs that when traced back on a GeoIP lookup resolve to that company's headquarters
