It is more trivial than it seems. How did people manage a Postgres instance prior to RDS? Of the entire feature list, what parts of RDS do you use?

1. Dumping a backup every so often?

2. Exporting its performance via Prometheus, and displaying in a dashboard?

3. Machine disk usage via Prometheus?

4. An Ansible playbook for recovery? Maybe kicking that into effect with an alert triggered from bullet 2 and 3.

5. Restoring the database that you backed up into your staging env, so you get a recurring, frequent check of its integrity.

This would be around 100 to 500 lines of code of which an LLM can do for you.

What am I missing?
