I'm worried that this is going to sound flippant (not my intention), but use Heroku. You're under significant time constraints with being a solo founder and it would most likely be a win to just not have to worry about this one technical aspect.


Why recommend Heroku for that as opposed to AWS RDS? The pricing seems to be significant (Heroku "Ika" is $750/mo, db.m3.large multi-az is $280/mo)


Well, the main reason was that I didn't realize that AWS RDS was offering Postgres now (looks like it is still in beta, but awesome news nonetheless).


Nothing wrong with staying that at all. It is easier to get started with. We should try to create some AMI images to make it a little easier to get up and running at AWS with Postgres-XL.
