Every time I am surprised to see the promises of the cheap durability without mentioning costs of running dirable postgres, which might be not easy or cheap.

Postgres is durable by default, it's ACID compliant. It is not reliable in the HA sense by default.

Either way, I'd bet a hosted Postgres with HA is cheaper than whatever PaaS you're thinking of.
