In addition to that, based on what I see for pricing, the managed DB solution that DigitalOcean has is a bit too expensive for us right now. It would double our existing server costs for the long term and while that would make the database very highly available, I would like to see us reduce our existing costs instead of increasing them.
It may be better just to keep our instance on one box only and maybe add dedicated extra storage instead of a whole managed DB, or I may have to split things into other microservices instead to keep us running for the long-term. We'll see!
