I don't use Postgres so I don't know the specifics.

For my own learning projects I pay 0$ because there are too few users so I'm in the free tier.

You don't really have a separate choice for the database, you have to choose a provider for the entire app, you do not want to have a cross-datacenter connection between your app and your database, the latency will kill you. So if you host on google cloud use their postgress, and so on.
