Sure, but we're addressing people who are so far on the other end of the spectrum they're using a "serverless" database where they pay for the number of rows scanned per query. I think a managed DB is a better middle-ground for their capability level while still delivering massive cost-savings.

Amazon RDS lowest-tier runs about $13/mo for 10GB storage, 2 vCPUs and 1GB memory with automated backups and push-button restoring. And that would have likely met all of their needs with capacity to spare.
