Both of those third party providers look interesting. Thanks for pointing them out.

Edit:

I notice that ElephantSQL doesn't surface in a partner search but EnterpriseDB does.

EnterpriseDB seems relatively expensive, even when just getting started (Estimated costs: $891.00/month).

Redis is provided by Click to Deploy, i.e. "Popular open stacks on Google Compute Engine packaged by Google", and is in beta (Estimated costs: $307.80/month).

Looks like Redis Labs has a trivial free tier, and the 1GB plan is cheaper on GCE than AWS ($57/mo vs. $71/mo). I'm pretty annoyed that I had to create a Redis Labs account to see that though.
