fly.io[1] supports Postgres clusters with read replicas in different cities[2]

It looks like AWS's Aurora Postgres doesn't support cross-region read replicas, but apparently their Aurora "Global Database" offering does[3]

For fully managed (similar to Heroku Postgres) Crunchy Bridge [1] supports replicas across regions including say EU to AU. Which would actually couple really well with Fly.io for the app side.
