Definitely. I guess where my ignorance comes in, from an engineering perspective is the way fly.io thinks about edge databases more difficult to architect than a more traditional route creating a subdomain for a region and just replicating your entire infrastructure in a new <insert cloud provider> region?

I guess you can setup the same kind of structure inside of fly.io but I remember some of their writeups have been talking about deployment and pushing the DB to the edge and then having eventual consistency across?

I think that is my hangup on use cases.
