I think RDS, Crunchy, Aiven and others aren't quite there yet.
- chime 4y agoThey kind of offer that with their Redis (via Upstash). But for our use-case, we needed it to be managed PG and Redis. Going out of the LAN introduces too much latency.
- chronark 4y agoUpstash Redis for Fly runs on Fly infrastructure and we observe latencies in the low single digit milliseconds.
- aeyes 4y agoMaybe that is what Fly had in mind: That some company like Upstash would bring "managed" serverless Postgres to their platform. Unless somebody natively implements clustering in Postgres I don't see that happening anytime soon, all existing tools require way too many moving parts. I don't know why they'd even want Postgres for the type of service they are offering, KV or maybe SQLite seem like a better fit.
