You can get pretty decent NVMe SSD drives on serveral cloud providers these days, without immediately bancrupting you. Sure, it's instance storage, but with a decent replication and archival setup, that's not necessarily an issue. It's not that hard to get to the point where postgres can't keep up with storage, at least for some workloads. - Andres -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
