Ask HN: Databases that use SQL but are usage based like DynamoDB?

Looking for a database that uses SQL/ postgres extensions as its interface and has a usage based model like DynamoDB. I quite like DynamoDB since it frees me up from thinking about instance types, memory requirements or whatever.



Maybe you mean something like AWS RDS Serverless

https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/serverless/


Maybe https://neon.tech/pricing ?

What do you mean by usage model?


DynamoDB has the concept of CUs ( compute units ) which are of two types - RCU.(read compute unit) and WCU (write compute unit). You pay for the CUs that are used + charges for storage. Each operation consumes certain number of CUs. You pay for the CUs used. So something like that but for SQL and hopefully compatible with the standard.
