I would love to see more options in the serverless persistence space. Given the infinite combination of tradeoffs that exist with databases there's a lot of room for different solutions.

AWS Aurora Serverless v2 is close to what I'm looking for but think it's held back by trying to make non-serverless technology serverless.

Fauna is close but I don't really need global consistency and don't want to pay the 150ms latency price for it: https://status.fauna.com/

Region selection is coming up if that interests you. We are actively working on it :)

I need to do some benchmarking myself but it seems that even in a local region writes are in the 100s of ms. I'm aiming for my Lambda functions to be < 100ms so using Fauna seems difficult to work in.

Unless you meant I can limit "how global" my data is and that would improve write speeds?

The spanner approach could dynamically shift the leader location for parts of the key space, so writes that tend to be done from one location could avoid needing to communicate outside the local region.
