Except Fly Postgres isn't a managed offering unlike, say, CrunchyBridge or PlanetScale or Alloy or Aurora. It is pretty much a "Fly app" you'd have to tend to yourself.

But fly.io also isn’t charging a premium over the base infra cost (are they? I don’t see fly Postgres on their pricing page)
Fly Postgres is just a Fly app. It's open source; you can grab it off Github and deploy it yourself, we'll never know. No, we're not upcharging for Postgres.
