I mean sorta? It's value add over something like Aurora or RDS has been it's SDL and EdgeQL layer which makes it a hard pill to swallow not knowing if it's going to go under and you're stuck trying to maintain that yourself or migrate off of it.

Not sorta, quite literally. You can start a Postgres instance and point gel-server at it.

By default, it does start a managed Postgres because that's more convenient, but you can point it to Aurora or RDS or any other pg deployment.
