Heroku's pg is ridiculously good. I recently wrote a document that demonstrates what Fly's pg is capable of at https://fly.io/docs/rails/the-basics/backup-and-restoring-da.... It obviously not nearly as extensive as Heroku's pg offering, but for some people its enough—for others not so much.

It seems like managed pg improvements aren’t high up on the priority list (there’s a mention of outsourcing it to a third-party like supabase[1]), so I’d just like to +1 this request — for personal projects the snapshots are fine, but I’m starting a new role where I wanted to use fly but without easier backup/restore it’s likely a non-starter.
A small request: it would also be useful if `fly volumes snapshots list vol_123…` included the time they were taken, not just “n days ago”. If I’m having to rollback, it would be good to tell my team & users exactly when I’m rolling back to!

Second this — Heroku pg is the main reason I've stayed with them, paying $$$/month to host my service. If Fly (or Render) can match the seamlessness of that experience, that'll be where I host next.

Would it be OK if service like https://www.crunchydata.com was integrated with Fly?

We're definitely thinking about a deeper integration here. As it stands you can absolutely connect a Crunchy Bridge instance to fly and we have folks that do just that, and it works for them.
