I would argue there is limited/no market for Database as a Service where the database isn’t hosted on the same cloud provider and region as your application. Egress costs way too much for that.

So you’d assume most people are already dealing with the AWS behemoth.

And if the cloud provider is providing a competing Database as a Service then it’s almost impossible to compete.

Egress costs are only expensive if you're paying the artificially high mega cloud corp's inflated pricing. I've yet to pay for bandwidth for any servers on Hetzner or for Cloudflare's services.

Also Cloudflare just released the GA of Hyperdrive which makes it even more reasonable to use Postgres with them. Also it's free!
