Hi @AttarTee. Thanks for raising this, and apologies for the delays in getting back to you.

We're working on documentation for popular PaaS providers (AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.). As soon as we have the AWS documentation ready, I'll share it with you here.

In the meantime, some general advice. If you're looking to deploy on AWS, we'd recommend self-hosting ParadeDB on an EC2 instance. ARM instances offer the best cost-performance. In production, many of our large customers use r8g instances, but you can also use cheaper ones. Happy to answer any specific questions you may have to help you get started. You could use Docker directly, but on EC2 I'd recommend installing postgresql directly and then installing the prebuilt extension binary from our GitHub Releases page.

Here's an (unreleased) documentation we're making for DigitalOcean, for example, which should be very similar to what you'd want to do on AWS EC2: https://paradedb.notion.site/Digital-Ocean-Guide-30bea4ce9deb801b8698e8c74b01f8d7?source=copy_link. Perhaps this can useful to you
