I’ve been using Fly for my new startup that offers notifications as a service [1], and the whole setup is super easy and efficient.

Since fly deploys at the edge closer to the users, our response times for notifications are 20ms on average which is mind blowing since I haven’t spent more than 1 hour on infrastructure setup.

What about databases? Is there a postgres-type-thing 'closer to users'?
