We dislike managing PG too, so we've been migrating to https://www.compose.io/postgresql/ It's not for every situation, but they have replication and failover and downloadable daily backups with the option for SSH-only access. Been using them for about 6 months on some smaller DB projects, and haven't had any hiccups.

They say that they'll happily host 3TB databases, but the cost is too high for databases larger than a few GB.

1TB (with only 100GB of RAM) will set you back $150k a year!

For comparison we pay our generic service provider about 20% of that to manage 2 redundant dedicated servers with 24/7 monitoring and support.

Compose runs on AWS, though. OP was asking about Google Cloud.
