PostgreSQL Sizing Cheat Sheet
What RDS instance do you actually need? I benchmarked every major AWS RDS PostgreSQL instance with pgbench. Get the free PDF — measured RPS, latency, and cost per 1k requests, broken down by workload type (read-heavy, write-heavy, mixed).
- Every db.t3, db.m6g, db.r6g, db.r7g size measured
- The point where your working set stops fitting in RAM
- Cost per 1k requests so you can compare options at a glance

I'll email you the PDF and occasionally send new posts on lean system design. Unsubscribe anytime.
