> We let you place the virtual tenant DB either on one multitenant Postgres DB or a dedicated Postgres.

Sounds promising, but by "a dedicated Postgres." do you mean a different server or just a different db on the same server? I'm trying to get at how the cost would change between the two solutions. Right now we can run N databases on the same Postgres server for roughly the same cost as running a single multitenant db. Switching to "server per customer" seems like it would be cost prohibitive.

We are going to support a database in the same server initially but could also provide dedicated server in the future. The nice thing about Nile's design is that we can provide different placements for different cost profiles with the developer experience of a single Postgres instance.
Nice! Thanks for the response.
