Self-hosting postgres is appealing from a flexibility standpoint (don't be locked out of superuser or advanced features), but it sounds a little bit nerve wracking.
I'm now hoping all the cloud providers read this article and start exposing the feature to try disabling an index in the query planner before you drop it for real, that should really become standard procedure. Just in case.
But if you're a large scale company to the point of wanting to own and customize your stack, it can definitely make sense to self-host.
