I totally agree with this! This would really add so much value to fly.io. And if they don't want to allocate resources to this right now I wonder if they could work with DBaaS providers like Planet Scale or FaunaDB where they'd wireguard their nearest instances into the fly.io network, add cli integrations/automations that'd link to their respective dashboards, etc.

I plan to use fly.io + planetscale and I'm hoping to still get low latency between those two services but it's no where near the low latency cloudflare can achieve with their new edge redis/db offerings (or the fly.io db at edge strategies) but after looking into fly.io's db strategies I really feel hesitant to take on that level of devops/additional-engineering when something like planetscale provides so much value out of the box.

Hope the fly.io team has something in the works either way! (And I'd love if they chime in with any input here in terms of performance between fly.io and existing DBaaS providers that are regionally replicated by default.)
