Running this on Azure Postgresql, even migrating to CosmosDB, cannot be cheap. I know that OpenAI have to deal/relationship with Microsoft, but still, this has to be expensive.

This is however the most down to earth: How we scale Postgresql I've read in a long time. No weird hacker, no messing around with the source code or tweaking the Linux kernel. Running on Azure Postgresql it's not like OpenAI have those options anyway, but still it seems a lot more relatable than: We wrote our own drive/filesystem/database-hack in Javascript.
