Oh yeah, I agree it's not the right choice for everyone. There's a whole lot that can go wrong self managing DBs. Also, you're losing out on availability as RDS gives you two availability zones for redundancy. It's a trade off I think based on your experience, budget, and uptime requirements. Just spit balling, but I believe it would be something like a 20% cost reduction for the db hosting.

Looks like they've got experience managing databases and are getting off of RDS as a result 🎉
