I am not aware of anybody offering a postgresql server. But it is
very easy to build your own one. The advantage is that you can
control your own backup schemes.

i know, i am using amazon services and have no issues with running
postgres on ec2 but i'm more concern with the fact that it seems that
nobody is planning to provide professional services comparable with
the current mysql based services from amazon.
ibm and oracle also have services based on aws, although not actually
comparable with amazon rds.

Just because none are there currently doesn't mean nobody is planning to
offer those services. PostgreSQL 9.0 adds some features that make it
particular well suited for cloud-style scaling deployments now, and it's
a safe bet that somebody is planning product offerings in that area now
that it's feasible to do so.
