Spanner offers that on GCP, and I believe CockroachDB offers something similar cross-cloud.

Do you have any specific requirements for which cloud provider you use, or any particular interface you really need?

Azure is our cloud provider. Interface is flexible, since our current implementation leverages Prisma ORM connected to Postgres & SQL Server. We're going to have to rebuild it anyway.
Got it, thank you! CockroachDB is the only one I know offhand that does what you're looking for. Another comment mentioned Vitess, which might also work.

It seems like there are a lot of options for large scale analytics, but I don't know a lot for high throughout geo-redundant transaction processing.

Vitess maybe? from what I have demoed and for being open source that’s the one I would choose. Unfortunately there isn’t a Postgres compatible one that is as mature yet and certainly not free.
