Most of my active apps these days are on Heroku, and they pretty much all use 
Heroku's PostgreSQL databases. Granted, the vast majority of them handle almost 
no traffic.

The exception is flying-sphinx.com, which in the scheme of things isn't 
massive, but handles around 30 queries/minute, every one of which hits the db 
at least once. With the proper database indices in place, my API's calls take 
generally 30-50ms, and I'm on the crane ($50/month) plan.

There's been one minor (a few minutes) outage in the past six months, plus two 
major AWS/Heroku incidents, though from memory only one of those affected the 
database - to some extent, you're at the mercy of Amazon.

Hopefully those are some useful data points.
