we’re using aiven.io and quite happy, although hard for me to compare. you can port across clouds, which is reassuring if we need to switch. Otherwise their support was helpful debugging a couple of db issues (in our own code). Wonder how they compare in this matrix if anyone knows?

no affiliation. just a customer.

aiven.io is quite good. They went broad instead of deep, so they're not as good at Postgres as the Postgres specific companies. But they're probably better Postgres than a PaaS can build by themselves.

that’s useful to know that others do postges better. We use their redis as well, so in some ways, breadth is useful for them and for us.

at the time we picked aiven, we couldn’t find any redis-specialized hosting with instances in GCP europe if I recall. so their breadth also plays in terms of locating near the customer servers (important for latency)
