All of Reddit was Postgres on raided EBS up till I left in 2011 and I think still is today but I kinda hope not.
It’s totally safe to use local storage if you build it right. But those raided EBSs caused a lot of problems. In short, when one gets slow the whole volume gets slow because software raid isn’t hardware raid.
The main advantage of RDS is that they take care of the mundane redundancy for you.
