Absolutely, I am just saying that you are talking on now all the inconsistencies of a third party management system and building your solution on top of that; you don't get the infra savings and benefits of managing your own, you gain some velocity for now and as big name clients probably will be stable for a few years.

I had a problem just recently where I worked at a place that's using blue/green aws rds deployments with mysql replication, and binlogs cant be moved in that service.

This is something that is bog simple in a non-managed service, and as a result we can either manage app replication, re-sync data on each b/g upgrade, or do physical replication (slow). My point isn't that rds is bad, it's just that if you are already deciding to implement your own significant infrastructure on top of database it seems weird to me to not just have the knobs on the thing itself.

Though you could say the same is true of the storage, and tbqh most of the cloud storage is dogshit these days but we just deal with it.
