But that's kind of a moot point. I mean, if you're even looking at the likes of DynamoDB or Spanner, it's because you need the scale of those engines. PostgreSQL is fantastic, and even working for Google, I 100% agree with you. Just use PG...until you can't. Once you're in the realm of Spanner and DynamoDB, that's where this discussion becomes more of a thing.

Not necessarily true. DynamoDB on demand pricing is actually way cheaper than RDS or EC2 based anything for small workloads, especially when you want it replicated.

Fair enough, I'm not (obviously) as familiar with the AWS systems and how the price to performance ratio works out for all the products.
