Craig here from Crunchy Data. Not sure if you mean Crunchy Data is like RDS or isn't, in some cases we're very similar as a managed service provider. But are focused on a better developer experience and quality support.

We've had a number of customers that use us for the database and fly for the app. We had a user benchmark a number of heroku alternatives with various database providers and we were actually better response time than the unmanaged instances on fly themselves in addition to all other providers they tested - https://webstack.dancroak.com/

I won't speak for Fly, but we're big fans of them and think we pair quite well together.

Yes we think they pair well together too. I believe the ball is in your court though. ;)

I haven't used CrunchyData for work, but I see you as offering what RDS does plus plenty more. RDS does a lot, but after using Timescale Cloud professionally I saw how much RDS doesn't do, like actually-simple upgrades, one-click forks, etc. and Crunchy looks similar in going beyond RDS.

I think the community would really love to see a direct Fly+Crunchy integration!
