Setting up a multi-az db with automatic failover, incremental backups and PiTR, automated runbooks and monitoring all that doesn't take half a day, not even with RDS.

No, but again, that sounds like a lot of complexity your average startup does not need. Multi-az? Why?

  • Because their Enterprise client requires it on their due diligence paperwork.

    • Which makes little sense anyway as in practice the real problems you have are from region/connectivity issues, not AZ failures.
