One thing to mention is that DynamoDb and Postgres are vastly different databases, so the migration won't be a simple "dump and restore".

You're right - it will be a daunting task, but one that only becomes more daunting the longer you wait. If you make the migration to Hertzner + self-hosting (even just to pure Postgres), I'm certain you will see huge savings. It's hard to give exact numbers without knowing your workload, but feel free to reach out if you want to step through the numbers. We're not one-eyed about Supabase, but we feel that Postgres is a solid choice for your core-OLTP workloads. We love seeing more businesses adopt it. It's good for the ecosystem, and good for open source in general

Appreciate it, really think AWS dynamodb is not an option for those running a bootstrapped business and dealing with large amount of data anymore, guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and just do more research on hardening dedicated servers ourselves. Really the security and peace of mind from relying on AWS was what we were paying for but the cost is too much as our data storage needs are exploding.

At this point I might even move off AWS Lambda somehow, its quite ironic, we do consulting to help businesses get on AWS but we are moving off it due to rising costs!
