EDB Postgres Advanced Server at the extra small tier maps to the single-primary-small reference architecture on AWS in us-east-1. Compute is the largest line item in this estimate, accounting for 83% of monthly cost. High availability is not included here, so this baseline stays lean and leaves failover headroom out of the monthly total. Primary carries the heaviest storage footprint at 500 GB.
