Looking at prices is definitely something I’m going to be doing in the short-to-medium term here. We’ve grown our Heroku bill for years, but I’m not entirely sure what all they take care of that RDS or Aurora wouldn’t also handle.
We currently don’t have anyone who is a dedicated sysadmin, so that’s one thing to keep in mind. We’ve been able to rely on shared sysadmin responsibilities here and there, and have Heroku take care of monitoring if our database has somehow “degraded.” But I do wonder if when Heroku identifies that a database needs to be updated, if they’re really just rebranding something AWS does automatically with RDS. I’m just not sure.
