How I wish we had Postgres support in Cloud SQL already...

Depending on how many RIs you have, maybe our custom shapes, much lower prices with per-minute billing and sustained usage discounts, and BigQuery vs RedShift you'd still come out ahead. You could always try your hand at reselling your RIs on the "market".

Would you rather run pgsql by hand or K8s? (And yes, I don't want to make you choose, that's just the current state of the world).

Disclosure: I work on Compute Engine, so of course we want your business.

heh, I would rather run psql as a service which is what we have with RDS :). We are aware of BigQuery advantages, Redshift resizing is tedious job, but we currently don't think that the cost of migrating to GCP would be so beneficial that it is worth the effort. This can of course change in future, but for now we are reasonably happy with our setup on AWS and its reliability.

Perhaps you can take a look at some folks who've done this with great success: https://cloud.google.com/customers/sharethis/ https://youtu.be/6Nv18xmJirs?t=8m7s

I knew it. I'll chalk you up as yet another customer that "might" move if only we had managed Postgres.
