> AWS is too low level for me

We had good success with Lightsail; but then moved to Fly.io & the Cloudflare platform and spend ~zero time on sre & devops.

I'm curious what you use for a database on Fly.io. When I last looked into it, a proper managed database option was the last thing that they were missing from what I wanted.

I'm not skin in the game on either company but I know that they partnered with Supabase for awhile on this. I'm not sure if that partnership is ongoing or not.

Supabase would be a good pick. Vercel and Cloudflare both do SQL DBs now too, curious how they are. Neon seemed interesting, haven’t heard much about them in a while.

None of those integrated of course, but easier than going big cloud or self hosted

Vercel SQL DB is just a thin wrapper (with added cost) on Neon

(I work at Vercel) We got rid of this and made it the same price as using Neon directly. We also added a bunch more database options (e.g. Supabase) https://vercel.com/marketplace

Not first party, but they offer integrations with Neon, Supabase, PlanetScale, and Crunchy Bridge for managed pg.

Their “you’re on your own” option is really nice though for cheap, non-mission-critical stuff, and you can even scale the compute to zero during inactivity and just pay the attached volume costs.

I've found Azure's serverless hosting decently easy to work with, too.
