timdev2 sums up my original sentiment quite well. Is spinning up and maintaining a DB architecture doable? Of course... But there are so many complexities involved for real production that it would greatly slow us down.

If we had staff to dedicate directly to this then it wouldn't be an issue. But paying for a managed service that gives us production grade data access is a no-brainer for any non-trivial application we build.
