Heroku's pg is ridiculously good. I recently wrote a document that demonstrates what Fly's pg is capable of at https://fly.io/docs/rails/the-basics/backup-and-restoring-data/ https://fly.io/docs/rails/the-basics/backup-and-restoring-da.... It obviously not nearly as extensive as Heroku's pg offering, but for some people its enough—for others not so much.
- spiralganglion 4y agoSecond this — Heroku pg is the main reason I've stayed with them, paying $$$/month to host my service. If Fly (or Render) can match the seamlessness of that experience, that'll be where I host next.
- bradgessler 4y agoWould it be OK if service like https://www.crunchydata.com https://www.crunchydata.com was integrated with Fly?
- craigkerstiens 4y agoWe're definitely thinking about a deeper integration here. As it stands you can absolutely connect a Crunchy Bridge instance to fly and we have folks that do just that, and it works for them.
- robgough 4y agoIt seems like managed pg improvements aren’t high up on the priority list (there’s a mention of outsourcing it to a third-party like supabase[1]), so I’d just like to +1 this request — for personal projects the snapshots are fine, but I’m starting a new role where I wanted to use fly but without easier backup/restore it’s likely a non-starter. A small request: it would also be useful if `fly volumes snapshots list vol_123…` included the time they were taken, not just “n days ago”. If I’m having to rollback, it would be good to tell my team & users exactly when I’m rolling back to!
