My backend setup for my one-person startup ("case study" for my book, https://opinionatedlaunch.com) is GitHub (for code repo and CI/CD), Firebase (auth, analytics, push notif) and CloudFlare (static pages, DNS stuff) and Fly.io. Less work but more done.

My only complaint Fly.io doesn't have managed DB (https://fly.io/docs/postgres/getting-started/what-you-should...) and task queue.

At work we use GCP, but try to be as high as possible in the abstraction layer (e.g. use Cloud Run and Cloud SQL).

I was able to use managed Postgres ~a year ago on Fly.io. They seem to have offloaded its maintenance to Supabase, but it is still seamlessly interfaced with Fly.io.

Moreover, they still allow 1 free db per account:

> Supabase offers one free, resource-limited database per Fly.io user

Are you concerned that it is not directly managed by Fly.io?
