My organization is trying to push Postgres as well, but running some basic numbers, it wouldn't save my organization any money, just transfer the costs to a different account.

It also doesn't even address the added costs of migrating every single Apex application into a whole new environment, with entirely new code. With any luck I'll be retiring next year and my tax dollars can either spent on keeping things working, or taking them all offline for several years while they get rewritten in something harder to maintain, and just as expensive to run.
