Heroku Postgres is now based on AWS Aurora
It scales to zero, so costs nothing when it's not in use...

Can you share which configuration scales to $0? I am not aware of that being possible. Even the serverless option has a base ACU rate.

v1 of Serverless did scale to 0, but that's no longer an option

You're thinking of Aurora Serverless, but the typical Aurora customer isn't using the Serverless offering. Additionally, the original version of Aurora Serverless scaled to 0, but v2 doesn't.

Just wondering, why is that?

AWS Can't bill you on 0 usage.

Wouldn't RDS or EC2 be even less dynamic in terms of pricing?

A bit pricier, some companies have a steady load, scaling isn't instantaneous, etc.
