If there was one thing we would all decide differently here at Fly.io, like if you gave us a time machine, is how we did databases. Someday Kurt and I will write the post about how those decisions came to pass and how they played out.

We're doing Managed Postgres now (MPG), which is what we should have done to begin with, but it took us for-ev-er to get here.

For what it's worth, I've been very happy using Crunchydata PostgreSQL with Fly.
