Side-by-Side Comparison
Objective metrics, no spin.
Web and mobile apps that want a full backend without building auth, storage, and APIs from scratch — especially strong for AI apps needing pgvector.
Complex enterprise workloads requiring fine-grained Postgres tuning — raw RDS or self-managed Postgres gives more control.
For AWS-centric organizations needing data warehouse, or when already using AWS services heavily.
If not on AWS (use Snowflake for multi-cloud) or need modern features (Snowflake more advanced).
