Would love this also.

The best option I could find was using Digital Ocean Managed Databases. The cheapest costs $15, but you can host multiple databases with good insights and backups. You can choose where you host it, and place it close to the region where youre Fly.io apps are, with low latency.

Only caveat is there isn't an easy way to automatically update the IPs whitelist of the database, to support the Fly builder and deployed app(s).

I recently switched to fly.io + crunchybridge. Crunchy is super easy to set up and their cheap plan ($10/month) is quite performant too.
The best value option I've seen so far is Azure SQL Server databases. Not exactly Postgres, but it's only $5/month and works wonders.
