It's the ecosystem things like Upstash Redis Database, edgeDB

That's Redis, Redis, Postgres, and a database we don't do anything with, for those following along with this.

Unless "Upstash Redis Database" is one thing? In which case, that's "Redis, and a database we don't do anything with".

I'm still not seeing the lock-in.

Whatever EdgeDB is: we're happy if you run it here! If it has like, a company running it as a service, we're very happy to talk to them, too. But we're going out of our way to avoid weird custom services, like Amazon's 19 different messaging services, that have platform-specific APIs. Our APIs are Docker, IPv6, DNS, Redis, and Postgres. Our Postgres is literally just an app running on Fly.io; you can run it yourself if you like --- or, I guess, run it somewhere else.
