Summary

Dynamic PostgreSQL is a new service that allows users to create databases with dynamic compute scaling, eliminating the need for overprovisioning and reducing costs. This service is designed to address the limitations of traditional DBaaS services and serverless databases, which often result in poor performance, unpredictable pricing, and high costs. With Dynamic PostgreSQL, users can choose a compute range that fits their workload needs, with a minimum and maximum CPU limit, and pay only for what they use above the base level. This results in cost savings of 10-20% compared to traditional DBaaS services and 50-70% compared to serverless databases. The service also offers predictable pricing, no wasted resources, and easy-to-understand costs, making it an attractive option for developers and businesses looking to optimize their database usage.
