I'm using the AWS stack for http://www.soundslice.com/ and I've been using MySQL instead of Postgres, purely because my hatred for MySQL is less than my hatred for being a sysadmin. It was a tradeoff, and I miss Postgres dearly every time I use MySQL.
This new Amazon offering solves that.

#8I've heard about PostgreSQL and know that HN community raves about it, but am currently using RDS with MySQL.
Does it make sense to migrate to PostgreSQL, I don't have a lot of data as I'm in the early stage? What are the primary advantages that PostgreSQL provides over MySQL? Any advise/pointers is appreciated.

MySQL (free) and Oracle BYOL (no additional license cost) are the same cost at RDS. Since PG is free, I'd guess the cost will be the same as MySQL.
