You must have the data upfront, you cannot build this in an incremental fashion
There is also bo mention on how this would handle updates, and from the description, even if updates are possible, this will degrade over time, requiring new indexing batch
(Genuine question) What's your current plan for when your cloud provider goes offline? Do you have a failover story, or it a case of "wait for them to come back online"?
Do we mean managed or PG on K8s like CNPG? In all cases, I use the infra to simplify things like having disk redundancy and failover nodes, not because 12GB is interesting.
And if you want to go even cheaper, check out Hetzner their EX63 (go to custom) > 4x 7.68TB drives for like 140 Euro.
Not counting the fact that Netcup is raided (also Netcup is limited to 8TB on a VPS).
That is like 4.7 Euro /TB. That is like 4$/TB. 6 Euro / TB in a raid 5 setup.
I do not understand why they are not using this new pricing model on their older servers. There the best you can get is like 10 Euro /TB (for the single 15TB U.2).

But realistically, I believe major clouds (google, aws) likely has more robust org and infra for recovery than I can built and maintain.
Not every use case requires 100% uptime
And yes, i agree, the PG failover setup (and especially dealing with a failure afterwards, to restore the ex-master is beyond infuriating).
But its not pay 10x the amount, while eating easily 10x performance infuriating :)
Rent your VPS and add in extra volumes for like $10 per 100GB.
Netcup is under-rated but there are also other providers too at lowendbox/lowendtalk and I am interested to try out hetzner too sometime.
