Now if only Amazon would offer PostgreSQL on normal RDS.

Doesn't RDS crap itself whenever there's a core AWS problem?

Yes, since it relies on EBS for persistence, which has been one of the flakiest parts of AWS so far.

All it takes is an EBS outage to determine this.

In the last one, RDS and ELB had issues (and were flagged as such on their status board) due to needing EBS, but I don't believe DynamoDB was.

And PostGIS too, please - if anyone from AWS is listening/reading :)

Not likely to happen as long as Oracle has its licensing grip on AWS.
