Pricing for pg should be easy to compute

20M vectors @768 is about 62GB, for 32bit, not even quantized. AWS RDS will put it at 83USD/m (db.t4g.small, 2vcpu 2GB RAM). But that's not with egress, backups, etc

Seems acceptable at least for a POC?

A better option if you already have the data in the same instance, but developer experience being low scares me. Anyone tried it? How did it go?

You will be able to store the data but no query it.

Vector indexes are very large, almost the size of the original data, and that needs to fit into the database memory ideally.
