Fly.io Postgres cluster down for 3 days, no word from them about it

For those of you with postgres apps, you can avoid this pretty much universally with cockroach db (they have a serverless version they host) It takes basically no work moving from postgres, even postgres dump works.

CockroachDB gets real expensive real quick if you want to use any of the cool functionality though. The free version is OK for a cluster in very short range of each other, for example the same DC, but if you spread things out you'll need the enterprise features (follower reads, at minimum) to keep any kind of reasonable performance.

Self hosted enterprise "starts" (!) at $100/vCPU per month. So, yeah. Not exactly the hobbyist's choice.
