Postgres has finally come to RDS (aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/)! Want to know how these instances stack up on a naive pgbench (www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgbench.html)test?

Below is a table of simple pgbench results taken over a 60 second period. All RDS instances were launched into us-east-1a, and pgbench (9.4devel) was run from an m2.4xlarge in us-east-1a as well. TPS t1.micro m1.small m1.large cr1.8xlarge Run 1 138.093179 57.018885 179.679616 258.866222 Run 2 116.202688 53.297961 173.538878 233.126021 Run 3 139.867496 52.476393 174.434619 257.679689
