Recommended managed PostgreSQL hosting for Phoenix applications?

Hello,

I am looking for experiences / recommendations on worry-free managed PostgreSQL hosting with limitless and effortless horizontal scaling features.

Thank you.

Supabase? Neon.tech?

Postgres isn’t a technology that does any of those things, at least not all together. It does not effortlessly scale horizontally, and certainly not without limits.

Don’t get me wrong, Postgres is amazing. And its vertical scaling will get you a long long way. But what you’re asking for isn’t a matter of vendor, it’s a matter of Postgres not being designed to be a horizontally scalable DB.
