`Hetzner` Bill Silly High for Basic `Postgres` Cluster! 💸

[nelsonic]

The default Postgres Cluster created by Autobase includes two Load Balancers:

And they are the "mid tier" which each cost €16.40/month!

So instead of our bill being the expected €20/month, it's been €50+ 💸

I'm fine with paying this for a "Production" service, but it's currently staging and costing waaaay too much!!

Changed both of them to the lower version.

Looks like we're still under the pre-change effect for the invoice issued 3rd March, should see a lower bill next month I presume:

Indeed. Still pre-update.

Autobase creates two load balancers by default:

Primary: https://console.hetzner.cloud/projects/3886115/loadbalancers/2226998/overview

Replica: https://console.hetzner.cloud/projects/3886115/loadbalancers/2226999/overview

Both point to the same set of Targets:

Opened an issue to investigate: dwyl/learn-devops#104

@nelsonic Feel free to create a feature request for adding a parameter that controls whether to create load balancers for read traffic. This would allow you to deploy a cluster with only one load balancer — for the Primary node only.
