Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL vs Realm React Native: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL as "* Set up, operate, and scale PostgreSQL deployments in the cloud". Amazon RDS manages complex and time-consuming administrative tasks such as PostgreSQL software installation and upgrades, storage management, replication for high availability and back-ups for disaster recovery. With just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, you can deploy a PostgreSQL database with automatically configured database parameters for optimal performance. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database instances can be provisioned with either standard storage or Provisioned IOPS storage. Once provisioned, you can scale from 10GB to 3TB of storage and from 1,000 IOPS to 30,000 IOPS. On the other hand, *Realm React Native** is detailed as "Realm JavaScript enables you to efficiently write your app’s model layer in a safe, persisted and fast way. It’s designe". Realm JavaScript enables you to efficiently write your app’s model layer in a safe, persisted and fast way. It’s designed to work with React Native and Node.js.
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Realm React Native are primarily classified as "PostgreSQL as a Service" and "Mobile Database" tools respectively.

Considering moving part of our PostgreSQL database infrastructure to the cloud, however, not quite sure between AWS, Heroku, Azure and Google cloud. Things to consider: The main reason is for backing up and centralize all our data in the cloud. With that in mind the main elements are: -Pricing for storage. -Small team. -No need for high throughput. -Support for docker swarm and Kubernetes.
Good balance between easy to manage, pricing, docs and features.
DigitalOcean's offering is pretty solid. Easy to scale, great UI, automatic daily backups, decent pricing.
