and setting up postgresql on a simple VPS is so easy... You can literally ask Gemini 2.5 Pro or o3 or Sonnet 3.7 and do it in 15-30 minutes... Learned helplessness is really something and vibe coding is overrated imo: https://www.lycee.ai/blog/why-vibe-coding-is-overrated

i'm a bit brain fried right now but are you being sarcastic? typing out apt-get install postgresql is a lot less that 15-30min.

Yes, but setting up e.g. users and pg_hba might be something you would need to research before doing your first postgres deployment even if you previously came from a managed postgres service. Also coming up some sort of backup strategy would be a good idea.

But once you know these things, you could of course be faster.
