PlanetScale now supports Postgres.

Your performance comparisons are very skewed to favour you. Not exactly screaming credibility here…

Thanks for not ignoring me! As a Crunchy customer, I was excited to read your comparison post. But two things stood out that make the comparison seem unfair.

Because you're using NVME, you HAVE to have multiple replicas to hedge against downtime and data loss. At Crunchy, even with a single instance, while downtime is a risk, data loss not so much. So 3x the Crunchy single instance price isn't fair for comparable resilience imo.

Also, Crunchy doesn't seem configured with pgbouncer while PS seems to have a pooler by default. That alone makes this comparison sketchy. Would love to see the blog post updated with that option enabled. Don't want to blindly hate here - happy to be proven wrong! ;)
